Just how extensive is your or your children's knowledge of farm animals? Are you able to name which animal gives so many of us wool for our clothing? Or what a boy chicken is called? Or which animal has its own set of shoes? Farms are a major part of many countries and they have provided many different types of food and resources. Naturally, one of the most important parts of any farm is the variety of animals that inhabit it. With fewer family farms, children may be fascinated by but not know much about farm animals. Children who aren't familiar with animals on a farm are sure to love learning about them, and how they provide for us. From chickens, cows, and horses, to rabbits and more, you'll find a wide variety of questions on all sorts of farm animals presented in a fun and interactive way. The book is designed not only as a game, but as a picture book for younger children. The pictures allow for a greater level of interactivity and education as the kids play and can relate questions back to the pictures.
