First off, this farm features real rescued farm animals that reside at a place called The Barn Sanctuary that people can donate to and support the efforts。 How awesome is that?I love the vibrant illustrations displayed in "This Farm Is A Family。" While at first glance you might think this a book geared towards toddlers and preschoolers, I think kids 4-8 is really more appropriate。 This isn't a book about learning farm terms and animal sounds。 Rather, it is about showing compassion and kindness t First off, this farm features real rescued farm animals that reside at a place called The Barn Sanctuary that people can donate to and support the efforts。 How awesome is that?I love the vibrant illustrations displayed in "This Farm Is A Family。" While at first glance you might think this a book geared towards toddlers and preschoolers, I think kids 4-8 is really more appropriate。 This isn't a book about learning farm terms and animal sounds。 Rather, it is about showing compassion and kindness to others who are maybe acting out because of fear or anxiety。Definitely a message that needs to be read in younger elementary classrooms to showcase importance of empathy。I received an ARC of "This Farm Is A Family" by Dan McKernan in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
