The folks in the valley Book

Besides helping to teach the alphabet, this folk art picture book introduces children to life on a Pennsylvania Dutch farm. It's a very peaceful book, and the print is giant and easy on young eyes. Vocabulary is simple, but very young children will still learn some new words to increase their own vocabularies. Stretch, milking shed, pitched, plow, patches, quilts, and quilting bees may all be new to children who live outside of rural areas and in a more modern culture. This will help them understand where food really comes from, and how farmers used to work without tractors and milking machines.
