Just how extensive is your or your children's knowledge of farm
animals? Are you able to name which animal gives so many of us wool
for our clothing? Or what a boy chicken is called? Or which animal
has its own set of shoes? Farms are a major part of many countries
and they have provided many different types of food and resources.
Naturally, one of the most important parts of any farm is the
variety of animals that inhabit it. With fewer family farms,
children may be fascinated by but not know much about farm animals.
Children who aren't familiar with animals on a farm are sure to
love learning about them, and how they provide for us. From
chickens, cows, and horses, to rabbits and more, you'll find a wide
variety of questions on all sorts of farm animals presented in a
fun and interactive way. The book is designed not only as a game,
but as a picture book for younger children. The pictures allow for
a greater level of interactivity and education as the kids play and
can relate questions back to the pictures.
