Description
This book describes what is found on unusual farms.
Quick Summary
If you've got a kid who thinks farms just mean cows and corn, this book is going to blow their mind. Brenda Haugen takes readers on a tour of the weirdest, coolest farms out there think ostriches, alpacas, fish, even bugs and somehow makes every page feel like a little adventure. It's short enough that reluctant readers won't get intimidated, but packed with enough strange facts that kids who already love animals will be begging to tell you about llama wool and tilapia farming at dinner. The pictures and layout are really accessible for younger elementary kids, even though the reading level sits around fourth grade, so it's a nice confidence booster. Parents will appreciate that it's genuinely educational without feeling like homework it's more like "hey, did you know someone actually farms ALLIGATORS?" kind of stuff. If your kid devoured something like "How Things Work" or loves learning weird trivia, they'd probably devour this too. It's the kind of book that makes you want to Google the nearest unusual farm and plan a whole field trip.
