Farm
PreS–Each spread of this simple, and simply lovely, board book features one animal. A large embossed silhouette in white and the name of the animal in clear black letters appear on the right. Some shapes are glossy, inviting young fingers to explore. On the left, the same image, miniaturized, interacts with itself in clever tessellations. The final page reads, “animals on the farm” and shows the six animals featured. The backgrounds are done in slightly grainy solid colors that lend a retro look. There is little detail to trigger conversation, but adults will love the artistry, and children never tire of identifying animals and making sound effects.–Amelia Jenkins, Juneau Public Library, AKα(c) Copyright 2013.
