Geared to beginning readers, this new title introduces children to life on the farm, using rhymes, onomatopoeia, and other literary devices.  The book is beautifully illustrated with watercolors that provide young readers with visions of daily life on a farm.  From individual farm animals and the sounds they make, to various farm-related jobs and scenarios, each section describes an aspect of farm life using onomatopoeia and song-like verses that rhyme.  Students who love farm animals will appreciate this new title about a family’s life on the farm. 

Along with the beautiful illustrations, there is an easy-to-read text, and the title already has an existing Accelerated Reader Quiz #149537 for students to take.
