Mosey's Field by Barbara Lockhart
Mosey, a long-legged, lumbering kind of dog, has a napping place in the middle of a corn field, but when the plow comes through, followed later by the planter, Mosey can no longer find his spot. As the corn grows, Mosey's adventures in the field include exploring tunnels in the corn rows, chasing rabbits, finding relief from the summer's heat, and, at the end of the season, experiencing the terrifying (to him) appearance of a combine. Mosey's Field illuminates the beauty of the rural landscape, the change in seasons, and the progression of agricultural methods. While Mosey continues the search for his special place, children are not only connected to the environment, but the important concept of where food comes from. Early reader-ages 5-8.
Lockhart, Barbara: - Award-winning author Barbara Lockhart uses the setting of the Eastern Shore of Maryland for her historical novel, Elizabeth's Field, and her latest work in Collected Stories. She has been the recipient of two Maryland Arts Council Awards for excerpts from her first novel, Requiem for a Summer Cottage, and excerpts from her short stories. Elizabeth's Field won a silver medal in the Independent Book Publishers Award for Regional Fiction, and her previous collection of short stories, The Night is Young, won a Finalist position in the National Indie Excellence Awards. With lyrical prose, Lockhart captures the flavor of the land and the people, ordinary folk living in small towns and on farms in both the present era and in pre-Civil War history. She has an MFA degree in Creative Writing from Vermont College. Through lectures, readings, and book discussion groups, Lockhart's interest has been to explore Shore life and history, while recognizing and honoring the humanity that links us all.
