Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss. ( )

A short illustrated chapter book following a young boy and his father as they travel around to all their neighbors seeing who is willing to trade for what. They are hoping to eventually end up with a cow for Ma, and they must hurry, as it is winter and they have a long way to go before the sun goes on such a short day. Has the potential to be charming but somehow missed the mark and ending up underwhelming for me. YMMV. ( )
