Jemima the Pig and the 127 Acorns, illustrated by the wonderful Guy Parker-Rees, written by Michael Morpurgo is one of the £1 World Book Day 2022 titles aimed at younger readers.
Published by HarperCollins for the 25th anniversary of World Book Day, this charming story evokes all the wonder, muck and magic of a week on the farm – the hard work and the sad moments, alongside the startling jolts of joy that have inspired whole lifetimes.
The first of many Farm Tales to come, it is a timeless window onto the working world of the countryside, and the way its landscape and animals can leave an impression on a child’s heart forever.
