On the farm by Nancy Bevington
Can you find? series. New Frontier Publishing, 2019. ISBN:
9781925594362.
(Age: 0-3) Board Book. Themes: Farms. This is one in a new series
for babies called Can you find? (others are Under the ocean,
In the forest, At the beach). Nancy's previous titles
have included the ZenTails and Mad Dog the chef
series. In this book, each page says 'On the farm there is . . . '
and then shows and names three things found on the farm (cows, a
pitchfork, hay, a farmhouse, a scarecrow, a wheelbarrow, a mower
etc. The illustrations are large, happy and fun but quite
realistically drawn. Each page has a contrasting background colour.
The last page says 'Can you find all the things on the farm?' and
shows all of the illustrations included within the previous pages.
These are simple but impressive early vocabulary books that
encourage parent-child interaction and positive book experiences for
babies.
