Publishers Weekly

Alan Baker's newest Little Rabbit offering is perfect for preschoolers. In Little Rabbits' First Farm Book, full-color spreads (with a loose story line) nestle next to informative sidebars. For instance, a spread called "Cattle Moo-ing" shows Little Rabbit feeding the animals hay. The sidebar asks, "Did You Know?" then answers, "Cows eat grass to make milk. Hay is dried grass." Below, a portrait of the animal family depicts bull, cow and calf. The back pages suggest games and practical extensions for teaching concepts.
