K-Gr 2 Each adorable volume opens with an alphabetical list of basic sight words that children will encounter in the book. The sentences are brief and simple, but rich in the information very young readers want to know about farm animals: their distinctive sounds; what they look like; how and what they eat; what their food looks like; and how they live on farms. New words are bolded in the text and defined in a picture glossary, and vocabulary is also built through picture captions and arrows connecting photos and words. Large type and lots of white space make for comfortable reading. High-quality cover art and photographs support the text. People of different genders and ages are depicted doing farm work. Back matter includes an index and picture glossary, a visual recap of the information presented in the book, and resources for additional reading. VERDICT Recommended for schools and public libraries. Young children will learn much from this fine series, as it answers many basic questions about these familiar animals.
