On a Farm (Penguin Young Readers, Level 1)

Clear illustrations. Repetitive sentences: “—— lives on a farm.” “—— grows on a farm.” “—-is on a farm.” From animals to vegetables to equipment. Easy to follow and direct young readers.

On the farm book has great illustrations and short sentences perfect for a small toddler. It discusses animals, food, and other things that you can find on a farm. I recommend this book to parents of small toddlers that would be more interested in pictures rather than an actual story.

Kids love this. Good for first readers. My grand sons love reading this to each other. And they take turns reading the pages

Good for children that are learning to read, decent pictures..no story plot however makes it a little boring. My daughter likes the animal pictures since they are realistic!

I loved this book because it gave my daughter confidence in her reading ability. It is a very easy rhythmic read and teaches kids about the animals on the farm. The only reason it is not a 5 star book is the ending sentences are repetitive.

From 30 pages, almost 8 had ads to others books from the same publisher. I know that publishers need to sell others book too but I don't like to read a book that has more than 25% of the ads... I gave the book to my child opened at the first page of the story and he really love it. The images were really good and a child that lives in the city, this book could help him learn more about the farm and the animals! If you ignore the ads, the book is really good!

Yesterday was Christmas Day. I saw my great-niece, age two and a half, open a package with a few board books and immediately begin to identify pictures. (When she got to chocolate, she rubbed her tummy- smart girl!) If her mom had read this book to her a few times, I have no doubt that she could begin 'reading' it to herself. There are two methods of teaching reading: phonics, and word recognition. If those board books continue to hold little Liz's attention, she'll learn that c-h-o-c-o-l-a-t-e spells and means chocolate. She'll have to learn her alphabet at some point, but no one will need to hold her hand and teach her how to read. My mom taught me how to read by word recognition. She put her finger under each word as she read to me. But Mom was surprised when I began to read. She had no idea what she had done. Because this book repeats the same basic phrase, your child will pick up some words more quickly than others. Some children might see certain animals for the first time in this book. Be sure your children know their are different types of farms. Some farms are just dairy farms, produce (pronounced with a long o and a long u sound) farms, farms with pig parlors (bet that's a new one for you city folks), as well as farms with a little bit of everything. And some people, like my former neighbors, were parents who each worked but had a big garden (they canned what wasn't eaten immediately) and raised chickens, too. They didn't consider their five acres a farm, but did put their land to good use. Most farms these days are gigantic corporations. I hope you can be lucky enough to take your child to visit a much smaller farm. It will make this book come alive.

This was a good book for my kindergartners to read the words were easy & the pictures helped. Love it.

fun book for learning
