I LOVE how Usborne Books keep kids very busy and very happy. This new title does that and more as it genuinely teaches kids about the inner workings of a farm. Expert advice was given in the book's production by a farmer from Dorset, England. The book has more than 70 flaps to peek under, some of which are double flaps-- lift one flap and there is another underneath. There's a wheel to turn on one page so kids can view the various stages of harvesting wheat. Lots of new vocabulary to learn too -- words like silage, trough, udder, bacteria, cultivator. The pictures are detailed and gorgeous (of course), with loads of animals and machines. At the very end is a special niche with a tiny book called Farm Animals to Spot, which would have made me the happiest child on earth when I was in this stage of life.
