review 1: I grew up on a farm in the Midwest so I was surprised that I did not really like this book. The main problem was that there was too much information included in this picture book. On many pages, there were multiple, miniature illustrations. They did not appeal to me at all. When I made it to the end of the book, I just felt tired. Whew, that was a lot of work, not fun like I think a picture book should be.
review 2: I'm putting this in non-fiction because it's a story, but it's almost like an encyclopedia too.If an encyclopedia could tell a story.We get to follow the farm through the seasons in this book.But not just the FARM,the tractor,the farmer and his family,the cats, the cows, the dog,the crops.I can totally see children LOVING this book who love f
... morearms because there's so much information in here. But it's always playful and doesn't feel like you're being lectured.I think the illustrations help with that too; they're watercolor and simple yet lovely. They're just enough to convey what they need to convey, and the lines are loose and free and feel alive.Loved this book.Good for anyone who is curious about what farm life is like! less

Wow - a very detailed book about life on a farm. Great for older kids, borderline non-fiction.

Very wordy, but I like how the pictures match up with the words so you know what is going on.
