The Little Farm by Lois Lenski is a classic. The text is on the left, colorful vivid pictures are on the right. The text is basic and repetitive; good for a beginning reader. It uses third person narrator throughout the book, reinforcing this structure for beginning readers. Lois Lenski has written illustrated over 90 books and The Little Farm is just another of her masterpieces.
This book is about a farmer that spends his day working on the farm. The book shows all of the different things that a farmer does, such as plowing the field, milking the cows, and feeding the animals. This is a useful book for showing children what farm life is like.
A great basic story about life on a farm.
