Thanks a lot to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read a copy of the book, to the author as well.
It is a story on a farm with many, many animals and life on it. Soon, two new animals will arrive to the herd (to the farm).
I liked the story. Besides that every children's story I read leaves me with something to learn, either for my improvement in English or a learning (moral) I learned such simple words that I felt so stupid for not knowing them.

Board Book for young readers that will introduce them to the love reading. With words/and pictures you can read together. The farm is a great discovery for babies and reading. With little Goat and mother Goat has to find her, it is adventure in reading. Each page is interactive and will make a special time for baby and parents.

A very fun activity book. The read along pictures between the text make it easy for young children to engage when reading the stories. Fun activities in between make it a wonderful book for little ones of any reading level.

While the style of the book is bright and fun, the overall message, in my opinion, conveys that children are typically only happy when they get to do what they want (explore, dig, have adventures), instead of listening when a parent asks. It seems to make allowances for disobeying.
On the flip side of the coin, it may help a parent see things from a child’s perspective, but because this is aimed at children, not parents, I would not recommend this to a classroom.
There also is a lock of connection between the reader and child in the book- we don’t even know his name. I wish there were a few changes that could be made to include a better connection and perspective, as the illustrations are fabulous.

Thank you to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing Inc. for a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
Another my 4.5 year old son adored. I asked him how much did he like it from 1 to 5 and he answered, "Ten!" Such a great example of how you can follow rules (which we are trying to focus on) while still having an adventure! The illustration was great and went well with the story. I'll definitely be looking more into Ciccio's work for my son!

Thank you to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for a copy of "Little Goat. Playing at the Farm" in exchange for my honest review.
This delightful book with adorable, colourful characters is meant for children ages 30 months and up.
Little Goat has gotten lost. There are pictures to use as visual aids to the actual words to help with language development. Mommy Cow tells Mommy Goat that she saw Little Goat by the Red Wagon. Mommy Chicken and her chicks saw Little Goat by the Green Barrel. This facilitates discussions about colours not just learning animals and their sizes.
In the "Look and Find" section children are able to trace with their fingers the route that Mommy Goat takes while looking for Little Goat. In the "Hide and Seek" section children can look at the pictures and find where Little Goat is hiding in each of them.
Children are introduced to new animals. Little Goat tells Little Lamb, pig, rabbit and Little Calf that there are new animals at the Farm. From the clues that Little Goat gives, children can guess who has arrived at the Farm.
There is a section where the different sounds that animals on the farm make are in thought bubbles and children can match them to the animals in the pictures. Children can also be encouraged to make the sounds as they look for the animals.
In "Long and Short, Big and Small" children can find which animal fits into each category. They can find which one Little Goat belongs to. They can also decide what animals don't belong on the Farm. Children can also be encouraged to think of other animals that fit into the categories.
Little Cat is stuck in the tree and the animals come together to help. Children are asked to figure out what the largest animal on a Farm could be.
There is a "Maze" at the end of the book where children can trace with their fingers how the Little animals can find a path to the Big ones.
A wonderful for tool for parents and caregivers to use with children. The colourful and fun characters will appeal to children. There are many avenues of discussion that can be opened up by this book.

I'm thankful to the author and to NetGalley for allowing me to review this book, but in all honesty I am underwhelmed.
The book used small pictures to prompt the child to develop their speech, an interesting idea that had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the words the child is encouraged to use are sometimes quite linguistically difficult, particularly for younger children. In terms of using literature to support language acquisition/development, there is certainly better books to use.
But, the book does include decent illustrations, and the inclusion of activities for the child, such as a map of the farm for children to trace with their fingers, are a great way to make literacy slightly more engaging for children who become easily distracted by their environment.

The pictures in this book were adorable and sure to hold the attention of young children. I loved that the author incorporated a lot of activities into the book as well. It wasn't just reading, there were ways to really interact with the book. A great book for kids, especially those who like reading about farms and farm animals!
Thanks to NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

Using photo icons interspersed throughout each sentence, this book is designed like an app and is designed like a literacy game. It’s a fun interactive story. The photo icons will help emerging readers engage in the story independently or with help. They’ll have fun finding the goat in each scene while also learning vocabulary.
