Dora and the Yellow Strawstack
by Bob Bartel

---

Dora and Henry are so excited about the harvest crew gathering in the field behind their house. There are horses, wagons, and all kinds of interesting machines. Look! There’s their father, driving his tractor. It’s 1929, and life on the farm is full of adventures. From the top of the strawstack, Dora and Henry can see their whole world. But straw can be as dangerous as quicksand. If anyone should get stuck, only quick thinking will save their lives! Dora and the Yellow Strawstack is a charming true story about life on a farm, resourceful thinking, and the bonds of love that bring families together. Kids will love learning all about the farm equipment of the era, and the reminder that when you’re alone and afraid, your loved ones are always there to help you.
