  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool

Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother.

Get out your cameras!

Do you have a favorite tree in Loudoun County?

You can share that tree with others by entering the 2008 Favorite Loudoun Tree Photo Contest sponsored by the local Arbor Day Committee.

Photos should feature a single tree in Loudoun County. Entries may be black and white or color, and no larger than 8 ½ " x 11". They should not be framed or matted. A sheet of paper affixed to the back of the photo should include the name, address, and phone number of the photographer, location of the tree, the kind of tree (if known), and the significance of the tree to the photographer. Photos become property of the Arbor Day Committee.

Entries should be submitted to the Arbor Day Committee c/o Loudoun Soil and Water Conservation District, 30 Catoctin Circle, S.E., Suite H; Leesburg, VA 20175. The deadline to enter is 5:00 p.m., Monday, March 24, 2008. Awards and certificates will be given to the top four photos.

Winning photos will be displayed at the annual Arbor Day Celebration on Saturday, April 12, 2008, at Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve.
