A small boy imagines the fun of touring this annual fair which celebrated 150 years in 2004. It is a predicatable rhyming book to help young readers.There is a song to use with the book.
The Harrow fair has continued uninterupted for 149 years. Children and adults love it as it has animals, crafts, plants, horse shows and music at night,
Below are two verses from this rhyming book which was updated in 2004 for the 150th Fair.
If I could go to the Harrow Fair, I know what I'd see when I get there. I'd see sheep and cows in from the farm And a lazy pig being prodded out of the barn.
If I could go to the Harrow Fair, I know what I'd lift when I get there . I'd lift a huge Pumpkin if I had a chance. I think I could do it without ripping my pants!
