Insights into what farms and farm life are like

The new Rourke series, Life On The Farm, is designed for students in grades 1-4 with a grade 3 reading level, and focuses on providing young readers with information and insights into what farms and farm life are like. The six volumes that comprise this wonderfully written and superbly illustrated series include Farm Animals (exploring the wide array of products that are derived from cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, goats, and poultry); Farm Buildings (including silos, blacksmith shops, windmills, packing plants, lofts, dairy barns, sugar houses, and pig sties); Farm Crops (focusing on the planing, harvesting, and importance of corn, soybean, lettuce, and orange crops); Farm Machinery (tractors, sprayers, tillage machines, combines, balers, seeding and harvest machines); Farms Old and New (the history of farming and the impact of science and technology on modern farms); Growing Up On A Farm (informative descriptions of how farm life differs from urban living, the farm environment, farm chores, and farm fun!). Hallmarked with an oversized, easy-to-read text, informative photo-captions, a glossary, an index, and a list of resources for further study (including bibliographies and websites), this outstanding series is also available in Spanish (La vida en la granja, 1589521803).
