Review:
This book reminds me a bit of the way "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?" is written - the very first page is "Red Barn, Red Barn, what are you keeping?" - a bit too similar to be original, I think!
However, it does introduce colours and numbers very well, and the kids seem to love it. There is a glossary of farming terms used, such as reaping, thresher and heifers, so the less-farm inclined parents can still explain to their children what these words mean (as kids will invariably ask about them!)
3.5 out of 5
