With Farm Animals, Lucy Cousins sets her sights on a more simple subject, farm animals. Each page contains a different animal, and is illustrated with engaging bold lines and bright colors. This book is perfect for babies as they learn about different animals and get used to having interactions with books.
The small board book is perfect for little hands who are interested in feeling different pages. As an added bonus, the sheep on the front cover is fuzzy, so your child will have fun touching their wooly coat. There is only a word per page, so you can increase your child's understanding of the book by pointing at the animal while saying its name.
The bold illustrations in the book really make babies want to stare at them. My nephew, Joshua, received this book as a gift when he was a baby, and he spent a lot of time flipping through the pages and connecting with the images. The book was sturdy enough for him to toss around. It was also interesting enough for him to pick it back up as he grew and explore it with an older set of eyes.

We are expecting a new baby and I thought this would be a great book for our boys to read to the baby. The size of the book makes it so baby can easily hold them as they grow and flip through the pages themselves.
