Farmer Palmer's Wagon Ride

Another classic story from William Steig, the Caldecott and Newbery Medal-winning creator of Shrek!, Farmer Palmer’s Wagon Ride follows a pig and a donkey on a journey home full of misadventures.

Farmer Palmer, a pig, and his hired hand Ebenezer, a donkey, have a fine morning selling their leeks, turnips, and lettuce at the market. By noon they're on their way home with a new straw hat for Ebenezer and gifts for the whole Palmer family. But before long, harum-scarum gusts of wind sweep through, setting off a “comically hapless journey” (Booklist, starred review).
