“My toddlers ages 3 and 4 really love this book! An accurate description of real farms and a great introduction to where our food comes from.”
-Amazon Customer
“My grandson loves this book. It is a great presentation of farms today and quite unlike the romanticized cartoon versions of my childhood. Highly recommend!”
-Happy Camper
“Far from a traditional farming book, this rhyming story demonstrates a realistic and educational vision of what really happens on a modern farm. Such a great book for my kids to remember how food turns into dinner. Love the vibrant illustrations and the message!
-Beth Lewis
“The book is intended for ages up to 8 years, but I enjoyed it as an adult. Modern Farms gives an understandable description of the farming process'; allowing young readers to learn how their food is grown. The illustrations are spot on to help explain the stories and are accurately detailed. This book is a must in all school and public libraries. This would be a great addition to Ag in the Classroom programs.”
-E.S. Johnson
“This is a fun and educational book that every child needs to read so that they can understand where the food we eat comes from. The fun illustrations spark curiosity and teach those young (and old) what modern farms look like.”
-J.L.P.
“This book is so cute and perfect for kids interested in both farms and their food. I love how simple it is, but makes so many connections for kids. That cereal you had for breakfast? Made from corn from a farm. Even the cake on your birthday used eggs from a farm!
