Plain Pig is one plump little animal, fully at home on her busy Amish farm.

Plain Pig's world is filled with the boisterous barnyard creatures who occupy most Amish farmsteads, but the point of view is always Plain Pig's!

Plain Pig keeps company with Clarence Calf and Hiram Horse. She hopes for a sample of ice cream and she gets within a hoof's reach of Lydia's lunch box. Plain Pig sits in puddles, tunnels through the haymow, and loses herself in mud. But the mishaps are minor. The merry moments prevail!

Pudgy Plain Pig introduces the alphabet by hiding behind objects, each or which begins with a different letter--buggy, fence, milkcan, umbrella, vegetables, etc. She also introduces the Amish--those plain people who live exuberantly satisfying lives. Plain Pig opens a window to the world of buggies and quilts, windmills and washlines, pumpkin patches and zucchini hills.

Benner's watercolors offer a freshly tactile little animal and an engagingly colorful world, plain though it may first appear.

Elisabeth and the Windmill
paperback, $6.95
Elisabeth has a secret which haunts her: she is sixteen and still can't read. It's not that she isn't smart, she just never could go to school on a regular basis. With so many little brothers and sisters, her mother needed her to help at home. But Elisabeth has a dream. She dreams of reading. Hannes Weaver works for the printer in town and after discovering her secret, offers to give her lessons. He is blonde and handsome and a tease. Then Milo comes into her life. Tall, thin, and overworked, he is an indentured servant from Germany. And there is Noah, who secretly wants to take her to the box social. Elisabeth is growing up. Can she still turn cartwheels, climb trees, and run barefoot? Is she falling in love? Fun-loving Elisabeth has much to learn about language, love, faith, and the wonderful ways the windmill of life turns and turns.
