Excellent book that helped my son learn the months of the year. The illustrations are great too.

I found this book rather blah, and apparently my children do also as they never bring it for me to read. Some of this may be because the illustrations are rather lackluster and washed-out looking.

This is such a neat book that goes through one complete year on a farm, mentioning each month and season, and what's going on during those times on a farm. What's noteworthy about this book is the little-known details about farm life included in this book. I found them mentioning things about real farm life that other cutesy little farm books never recognize, like the chickens laying fewer eggs in the winter, and having to give animals medicine.
Living in the country with a few animals, my son could relate to all of these little details. We really enjoyed reading this book together.
