This book tells the reader all about farm animals. There is a table of contents at the beginning of this book that shares all of the animals that will be talked about. In each section, the author shares things like an animals appearance, what they eat, and their average height and weight. This book is intended for learners who are learning what encyclopedias are and are interested in learning about different farm animals. This book addresses many science needs and is the definition of a non show more fiction book. This book would be a great addition to my classroom library if any of my students were ever curious to know about a specific farm animal or working on a group project. show less
