This was a good solid story based on a true event. The images were great, it was easy to follow and had a great ending - 4 stars

When I tied to read this book, the cover and one page was illustrated. The rest of the book was all blank pages. When I tried to download it again, it had been archived. Sorry.

At first I thought this was a global warming story. If it is, then that needs to be made more clear. A fog has settled across the land. People from all over see it. Will it ever go away? The illustrations are lovely, but I am still trying to find the point of the story.

I am currently not going to list this review publicly in case it was a glitch in the system.

I was a bit sniffy about this book when I opened the file and read it, having forgotten everything about it. But I grew to love it. At first I thought 'well, it's just some sob story about an eedjit farmer with a barn that floods because it's at the bottom of a hill – d'uh!'. Well, in a way it is that, but it's a lot more besides. It's charming, it's simple and warm for the very young person still sharing their books with their adults, but it's also funny. The one-line-a-page script breaks the fourth wall a couple of times, and engages the audience, but one of the bonuses of the book is that the makers have engaged the audience too, and got copious people to provide just one farm-based illustration each, which have been digitised, doctored and fed into proceedings. And lo and behold, the book process involved just as many people doing one tiny part as did the REAL-LIFE moving of the barn uphill.

Yes, this is quite wonderful in being based on a true tale, in having the engagement of the people to whom it happened (as well as hundreds more, even the band-members of Jars of Clay), and in being a charity fund- and awareness-raiser for fostering. In an age of crowd-funding and social media appeals galore, it's only right that the makers of the book went back to one of the more early and notable examples of people power, always with the greater eye on what requires a lot more people power still, yet gets very little publicity and press. So don't be sniffy. Never hesitate to purchase this book.
