review 1: This nonfiction book is truly delightful. It is a little of this and a little of that about farms and farm life. Some things will bring fond memories and other things will cause you to say "I had no idea.". The illustrations are informative and plentiful, and recipes and how-to guides are included. I think I would like to own this book so my grandson, age four, and I could sit and look and talk while going through the pages for years to come.
review 2: I love the illustrations in this book and think it has great potential to be a super-helpful reference book for me in the future. It happens to include beautiful diagrams, recipes, and glossaries of things we all might have known at one point, but are losing as we move increasingly towards urban life. In that... more respect, great!I found the book failed to articulate the author's stake in the project, though. Rothman briefly explains how she and her partner went back to the family farm, and she provides all of the obsessive documentation of farm practice, so she's clearly so invested in what she produces! I wish I could have seen more of her investment and more storytelling within the book. less
