Customer Reviews

Great book

All of the DK books are great! My fifteen month old son loves this one because he just went to the state fair and saw all of the farm animals. He carries this book around everywhere.

Bilingual choice for active boy

Trying to bring up our children with english and german, this book offers a great opportunity to read, as the pictures are obvious and beautifully photographed, and I can translate quickly, without the need of a dictionary. My boy doesn't sit still for long, so single images are great, he can concentrate for as long as possible, without a story being interupted, if he's patient I can make a story around an item, if not we just move from image to image. I love the series, and we have the other titles as well.

This is one of a great series of books by DK

This book is a great introduction to a farm. It lists items on the farm, some farm animals including their parts of body, farm vehicles, fruits, vegetables, and other agricultural products. One of the best things about this book is that it is bilingual--the vocabulary is offered in both English and Spanish. I hope that DK continues to purchase bilingual versions of their "My First Board Book" series. They are great vocabulary builders.

Fantastic!

This series of board books are fantastic.I started collecting these for my daughter after she was given one at 6 months and this is what we started to read to her every night. She woud sit and demand it to be read over and over and over again. The board pages and are easy for baby and toddler to turn and the pictures (real photography not illustrations) are wonderful.The farm one has lots of animals, fruit and vegetables and reading them over and over my toddler can now read and say the names of each thing herself while pointing to them. She recognises things she sees on her dinner plate and goes and gets the book to compare. If your looking for a great picture book to share with your baby this is the one (and the series of books) to buy. You can never have too many books to read with your children.

My first farm board book

We like the board book for several reasons. The bright colors and the shape of the animal characters. The board pages are great because they stand upright and are durable. The babies love the stimulation. It's a good way to encourage the development of colors and shapes while they are here in our Intensivecare Nursery. One of our baby who is on a ventilator for a long time loves to look at Zebra until he goes back to sleep. Thank you for letting me write this review. Books are great for everyone. And we are very fortunate that the colorful books are available for sick infants as well. NICU RN
