I actually downloaded "Farm Fun" because I have been curious to see what colorful illustrations look like on a Kindle Fire.  I review quite a few children's books but with a regular Kindle (I have the first generation) there's nothing really there for toddlers and preschoolers.  The KindleFire though has opened up the field and I'm happy to say that the illustrations from "Farm Fun" and the other little books I have downloaded look fantastic.  The colors are brilliant and appealing.Now as for content, "Farm Fun" is on par with other learn-the-animal books.  Peter Lawson'sbook asks questions, gives clues, and then the answer.Example:"Who's making that noisebehind the bushes?  They'rewhite and very wooly."The picture shows a farm background with a sheep mostly hidden behind a bush.  In the air around the sheep is the word 'baa'.  The next picture shows the sheep and is accompanied by text that answers the question:"It's Dolly the Sheep, eating logs of grass."Other animals that are included are a duckie, a pig, a happy hen, a hungry donkey, a cow, and surprisingly, a farmer and his tractor.I think this is a nice ebook.  The ONLY thing that would make it better is if there had been sound.  If there was sound it would have been 5-Stars.Pam T~mom/#kidlit blogger
