Farm Anatomy: Curious Parts And Pieces Of Country Life (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
beautiful book, and not too cute, with actual useful information for the farm fan. my guys (4 and 2) are obsessed with the pages about tractors and balers and such, but there's lots of fun bits about animals, planting, harvesting, barn styles, different combs on roosters etc. it's really lovely and all hand drawn and lettered, no boring text. i don't know if it's supposed to be a kids book or just a curiosity, but all of us are having a lot of fun with it. I really enjoyed looking at this book and reading the captions around the pictures. Julia Rothman's colorful artwork gives this city girl a better farm vocabulary. It is just like a kids vocabulary book where you are introduced to something and then given pictures to cement the meaning. In this farm book examples incude different styles of barns, types of farm geese, how to rotate crops, good bugs and not so good bugs.More and more I like to have an art book or picture book in my current reading pile of books.
