The illustration are wonderful and I like the way he introduced each part of the farm with the matching illustrations, a great way to help a child follow the text and also show parts of the farm. I got a really good sense of day to day and season to season life on the farm. Cooper gives a basic introduction to farm life, keeps it simple and provides a point of reference which will help children move towards more complex titles about farms.Jennifer Hartshornnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152226426617474881.post-75712553891922649262010-08-02T17:52:48.634-04:002010-08-02T17:52:48.634-04:00This isn't my pick for the Mock Sibert, but on...This isn't my pick for the Mock Sibert, but one thing that I did really appreciate about <i>Farm</i> was that the glossary was in the front of the book. <br /><br />I don't know that I've ever seen a glossary appear before the main content in an informational book, but it makes perfect sense. Readers might like to know the meanings of new words <i>before</i> they are encountered in the text. Brilliant!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07830964081238352803noreply@blogger.com
