This Is the Farmer
by
Nancy Tafuri (Goodreads Author)
Just right for toddlers, an appealing book in which each action propels the next, from a farmer kissing his wife, who then pats the dog, to a cat, a mouse, geese, and a donkey....There's a lot to discover and discuss in these expansive, beautifully observed illustrations.

Nancy Tafuri is the author/illustrator of I Love You, Little One, which is one of my favorite board books for its lovely, sensitive text and beautifully detailed illustrations.
This Is the Farmer is a lot more simple than I Love You, Little One, but still very good in its own right. The illustrations are bolder -- each figure is less detailed than in I Love You, Little One, where Ms. Tafuri painstakingly and beautifully detailed each hair in a rabbit's coat -- but each spread overall ...more

This is the farmer would be a great book to use when doing a farm lesson. It has great pictures of the animals that you can see on thte farm. Along with the great pictures it also tells actions that each animal does, which could be in turn used to act out with your children. A teacher could also use this book to do the sounds of each of the animals.
Very simple text makes this okay for toddlers as well as preschoolers. Might work better as a one-on-one rather than for a group; it would be good to look over and talk about the details in the illustrations.
This book was very short. I did not get much out of it when I read it. I think it was too short and most children wouldnt understand the point of it.
We borrowed this book from the library and read it over, and over so many times that we finally bought it.
This book is good to read to a large group because the words are really large print.
Another toddler favorite.
A book that a toddler can love! It's a quick read for those short attention spans and shows some of the animals and tasks a farmer has to take care of.
Huge black font, and large colorful illustrations.
My nephew's favorite book as a baby.
