Not sure how to describe this one: the life of a farm through illustrations? Adorable, informative, with a perfect style. I can think of five people who would love this as a gift.

All of the answers to the questions that crop up when we're on a road trip through farm country can be found here. Ok, maybe not ALL, but lots and lots. This would be a fun book to pack in the car for the tidbits and trivia. I love Rothman's illustration style.

Julia Rothman presents a delicious visual catalog of farm work wtih beautiful illustrated collections of pigs, tractors, milking devices, hay bales, crop rotations, squash, eggplant, etc. This book is good for browsing or daydreaming, and provides the vocabulary of the farm if you're unfamiliar. The author created the book because her husband grew up on the farm and she was trying to get closer to that, which is sweet. As a result, the information is not advanced or technical; it's pretty accessible even if you've never stacked hay or grown a tomato. The illustrations are really lovely. I'm sad to return this to the library.

Beautifully illustrated and fun to pore over. Not at all a comprehensive book about farming or homesteading, but a lovely collection of art and information. I would love to frame quite a few of the pages of these books to hang in my house!

Whether you are a City Mouse or a Country Mouse, this delightful guide to life on a small farm will charm. And you learn a few things along the way, such as 'kindle' = is when a rabbit gives birth to a litter. Don't know about you, but my kindle app breeds books like rabbits
