Reviews

[Samantha Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the book I chose for my graphic novel. The grade level for this book would be 1st to 2nd grade, it is a book that explains about life on the farm. The book would be good for reading, especially those who struggle to get into a book. I have no content concerns for this book.

This book is in comic book form and I talks about life working on a farm. It talks about what farmers do and how we get food and such things from them.
