Down on the Farm

This week, I am doing my monthly outreach story time at Chick-Fil-A.  I'll be sharing some of my favorite farm stories with the kids.  However, there are a lot of great farm picture books for kids . . . .

Farmyard Beat by Lindsey Craig
The sounds of the farm animals create a lively beat that keep Farmer Sue, the chicks, sheep, and other farm animals awake.

Farmer Duck by Martin Waddell
When a kind and hardworking duck nearly collapses from overwork, while taking care of a farm because the owner is too lazy to do so, the rest of the animals get together and chase the farmer out of town.

Cluck O'Clock by Kes Gray
A group of chickens has a full day on the farm, from eating breakfast early in the morning to avoiding a fox late at night.

Farm Flu by Teresa Bateman
When the farm animals seem to catch the flu one after another, a young boy does his best to take care of them.

Serious Farm by Tim Egan
Farmer Fred takes his work very seriously and so do his animals, until they decide they need to make the farm more fun and set out to find a way to make Farmer Fred laugh.
