K-3Green Light Readers series.
Adapted by Karen Barss.
In Farm, Martha visits a farm, where she proves better at saving the sheep from a coyote than herding them. In Play, she coaches her friend Truman on catching a baseball but forgets about throwing practice. These two brief adaptations of episodes from the PBS series are as glossy as the cartoon representation of Meddaugh's trademark characters. Review covers these Green Light Readers titles: Martha Speaks: Farm Dog Martha and Martha Speaks: Play Ball!
