Reading Level: K − 1st Grade

Explore the natural world with Gail Gibbons in this introduction to farming and the work done on a farm throughout the seasons.

Farms are busy places throughout the year. Animals are born, fields are plowed and planted, and crops are harvested. The winters are quiet, but there are always chores to be done, and soon spring will come again.

This new edition of a popular favorite has been vetted by an agricultural scientist and includes updated farming procedures and shows new safety equipment for family farms.

"Simple stylized shapes and clear bright colors make Gibbons' landscapes easy for young children to comprehend." --Booklist

"Gibbons depicts aspects of farm life with her characteristic bright colors and stylized forms. Every season brings its own specific chores, indoors and out, its own crops and its own food. There are the forces of nature, and the ways the farmer harnesses or copes with the elements using mechanical devices."--Publishers Weekly
