We are reading this book as a part of the 1000 books by kindergarten challenge. Many are borrowed and some are owned but we wanted to track the journey so that we would know which ones we loved the most!

Owned or Borrowed: Borrowed
Number of times read: Once
Age read: 5 months
What we loved: I liked the extra information about the animals and think we will enjoy it when she is older. For now she got to hear different words and I made animal noises for each of the animals in the book.
Themes to be cautious about: None

Babies first science textbook with a quiz at the end! I really like these National Geographic Kids books. They have exactly the right amount of information per page, real photos, and interactive components. 5 animals, 2 pages each, was perfect here.

Readers are introduced to five common farm animals.

Nice photography, and interesting facts to share with kids.

Animals are very interesting to toddlers. They are quick to learn about their world. With this cool book about farm animals, toddlers learn that cows produce the milk they drink. As a matter of fact, one cow can give 400 glasses per day. Toddlers will also learn that hens lay eggs and chicks hatch from them. Actual photos give young readers insight to the world of animals and help them recognize them when they visit the farm. Toddlers will also learn the sounds various animals make. There are lots of fun facts about the animals presented throughout these pages. This sturdy board book is perfect for small hands.

Farm Animals was a favorite with Trent immediately. One of his stations at school is all about animals and they spend their time there talking about the different animals, what color they are, and what sound they made, so Trent loved telling me all of the animals’ names and the sound they make. I loved that there were animals facts and sidebars in addition to just the animal photographs and sounds.

A great introduction to farm animals and the goods they provide to humans. Two pages per each animal with lots of nonfiction but simple text.
