Evidently "hay tumble" is Vermont dialect for haycock. In this engaging fantasy, a poor farmer making hay on a steep mountain-side decides to roll his hay tumbles down to the ramshackle barn below. One tumble leads to another, growing like a snowball so large that it bounces over the barn. While tumbling the tumble somehow contrives to do all the farmer's chores: stacking sap buckets; pulling weeds; cutting and stacking logs; catching and cleaning trout; picking up stones and dropping them neatly into a wall; and lending gently on the wife's milk cart. "And that was the start of good fortune for the farmer and his wife." The haycocks and their dynamic passage down the hill are vividly painted by Dick Gackenbach.

Wow, that book sounds like a great read and a great book to have as part of my classroom library. I like how you put the picture as well. I still need to take the technology course because I am behind the times and still don't know how to do that. Great description of the book.
