Education consultant and early years reviewer for the School Library Association, Meg Barclay, reviews books which teach children about farms through nursery rhymes, about how to build resilience, and introduce children to healthy foods and recipes

 

This is a lovely board book which will be excellent for supporting various curriculum areas and provide much fun for young readers.

Each double page includes a different verse from the popular nursery rhyme Old MacDonald Had a Farm, printed in clear, easy-to-read text and accompanied by a wonderful slider activity where counters can be moved across the page as the verse is sung.

The illustrations are fun, bright and detail-rich, with illustrations matching the lyrics of the verse. This helps introduce readers to life on a farm, some of the different animals and how to care for them, and other jobs on a farm.
