The Farm

This fun and educational book, themed around everything to do with farm and farm animals, will keep young children entertained for hours. The Farm takes a narrative approach in which two children, Mary and Max, show young readers around their uncle and aunt's farm. We see them visiting the wheat fields, stables, milking barn, orchard, and vegetable patch, as well as taking a ride in a tractor. All this and more is charmingly depicted by French illustrator Alain Grée, whose stunning vintage illustrations leap out from every page.
