The Felix books transport the reader to Ambers Farm. In Felix’s ‘New Building’ adventures our hero wants to know what his friends are building a new barn for on the farm. Readers find out about low-loaders, diggers and preparing a site. The subsequent two books see Felix embark on a variety of adventures which centre on everyday farming events – from the harvesting of wheat and helping the Story family find their beloved missing dog, to dealing with snowy weather and getting a coal delivery on time.
Catherine won an award for ‘Innovation’ based on the books ‘want to know more’ sections’, which seek to keep children entertained and stimulated.
These sections answer the sort of questions that children might ask, such as 'what happens on a farm in winter?' or 'what does a combine harvester do?'.
