"The... Whatever" (animated short)

The Chronicles of Pleasant Grove is an enchanting book of three chronicles by A.M. (Anne) Johnston-Brown. It takes place at the turn of the 20th Century on the humble farm of Pleasant Grove. Annie, the red-haired Golden Retriever, and her best friend, Benny the Mouse, attempt to maintain peace and harmony on their beloved farm with the help of their fellow critter friends. There is danger, romance, jealousy, betrayal, scandal and redemption to be found in each fascinating tale, as well as an occasional critter-napping or two.

Written in verse, this book is "Seussish" in style and challenges the young reader with more advanced vocabulary than they may be accustomed to. For this reason, the author has designed an accompanying Glossary to aid in the young reader's understanding of the text.

The Chronicles of Pleasant Grove is an excellent tool for educational purposes, going beyond the customary objective of mere reading entertainment. It is a must for any child 9 to 13 years of age because it inspires old-fashioned ideals while relating to adolescents on a more current and familiar level.
