Items related to Welcome to Silver Street Farm
Some animal farms are up in the hills, or down winding lanes. But Silver Street Farm is different — it’s in the middle of a city, and it’s run by kids!
Even though Meera, Gemma, and Karl live in the city, they’ve always wanted a farm of their own. And it looks as though their dream may happen sooner than they imagined when Meera discovers an abandoned railway station with grounds for grazing. Next, some eggs they thought were foul hatch into ducklings, and a couple of “poodles” bought off the Internet turn out to be lambs. There’s just one problem: how can the kids — and the community — persuade the city council not to turn the old site into a parking garage? The first in a series of fun-filled stories about Silver Street Farm, here is a tale with natural appeal for kids who love animals, aim to be green, and enjoy a do-it-yourself spirit of adventure.

From Booklist:
Katharine McEwen has illustrated more than twenty-five books, including Allan Ahlberg’s The Children Who Smelled a Rat and Phyllis Root’s Here Comes Tabby Cat and Hey, Tabby Cat! Katharine McEwen lives in England.
Gemma, Meera, and Karl have been friends since kindergarten, when their dream of having a farm in the city was first born amidst Legos and wooden blocks. Now in fifth grade, Karl is secretly thrilled when his Russian aunt is tricked into buying two lambs disguised as poodles, but keeping lambs who defy housebreaking in an apartment is not an option. Gemma’s volunteer hours at the vet’s office get her five duck eggs that hatch in her bedroom. Meera comes up with a solution to the animal situation and the start of their dream: the abandoned train station is overgrown and has everything they need for a farm in the city, if only the city council won’t level it to make room for a parking garage. With kids actively seeking to better their city as a focal point, Davies has begun an amusing romp of a series. Clever children and supportive adults come together in this clever chapter book that will spark the imaginations of the target audience. Grades 3-5. --Melissa Moore
