Book: “Farms ABC: An Alphabet Book” by B. A Hoena

We read this book “Farms ABC: An Alphabet Book” by B. A. Hoena to the girls when they were really little and after the Grandparents were here visiting us from Kansas a couple weeks ago the girls picked this book out again from the library.  As we were reading it again I was impressed with how well the author incorporated many aspects of farming / ranching into the small book.  It is an excellent beginning readers book filled with information about farms (including Irrigation, Oats, Tractors, Planting Seeds, Repairs, Harvest and more).  The author goes through the alphabet highlighting each letter and describing the highlighted word in more detail.  In the back they add additional fun facts about farming for the kids to read.  For example:  “A dairy cow produces about 100 glasses of milk a day” and “Did you think that only cows eat grass?  Wheat is a type of grass that people eat.  It is used to make bread.”  Our girls know their ABC’s already but were fascinated by the pictures and descriptions.  This book would be a great addition to your library especially if you have  family in the farming business or your little one is fascinated by farm animals and equipment.
