Learn about life on the farm in this fun-filled non-fiction picture book for young children.

Spend a year on the farm as seasons change, crops grow, and animals are born!

With charming illustrations, narrative text, and key terms highlighted on each page, Time to Explore Farms offers an introduction to the world of farming for young children. From cows and sheep to tractors and combine harvesters, every child's favourite is featured here!

At the beginning, a two-page illustration opens up to reveal a farm. Turn the page and follow along as the farmer tends the fields, looks after the animals, and keeps the farm running over the course of the year! And so we watch as the seasons change, until a gatefold opens to reveal the result of a year's hard work - a shop full of everything grown on the farm!

Accompanying the narrative text, there are lots of fun details to look out for in each scene - from a mischievous farm cat to a loyal sheepdog! Learn everything there is to know about farming in this fact-filled story that is sure to engage children everywhere.
