AMAZING!! - - "The Paddock Bomb" wins the ABLE Golden Book Award for best Childrens Book 2025!!!



Caboodle Farm books cover the wonderous world of growing up and living in the country.

The stories are aimed at 6yo to 96yos and have something in them for everyone (even younger readers love the pictures and stories).

The books are closer a chapter book with beautiful hand drawn watercolour illustrations which bring the stories to life.

The concepts are traditional - team work, family, caring for animals and community. Learning responsibility and chores from the earliest years and understanding that we all have a role to play.

If you love animals, you'll love the crazy antics of the dogs, cattle, chickens, pigs and more. Harvesting, sewing, growing and country life pursuits also feature.

The books also feature some historical and farming references (like Matilda II tanks in Northern Africa and the Battle of Troy or high quality microns in wood) to spark inquisitive learning and provide a conversational piece for children and their parents to research and learn together.

Mostly, these books are an ode to life in the country. Community, families and life on the land.
