Toddler—A sweet and simple illustrated series that shows some of the chores and animals one might encounter on a farm. Each book features a different family and portrays the relationships with warmth. We Pick Apples centers on a girl and her father and details their day picking apples to sell at the local farmers market. We Take Care of the Pigs is notable for its depiction of a younger and older sister who happily work together. The text is simply written, and located at either the top or bottom of the page. The series also works as a quick introduction to basic livestock care. Three "Words To Know" are found at the end of each book.
VERDICT Consider for areas where farms are a rarity for children or as a primer before a visit.
