For Marlin and Mervin, life on the farm is full of new and interesting events. Baby ducklings on a pond, an owl in the silo, and a rabbit family in the back yard are all a part of life on the farm.

The boys learn that a fish cannot live out of water and that a dog must be taught good habits while it is young.

They enjoy a box turtle in the garden while they share in the work on the busy farm.

Kindness, honesty, respect, and a love for God are carefully woven into this story of farm life.
