Let’s Go to the Farm! is the second book, in the “First Experiences” series from Caryl Hart and Walker books, the first book was called ‘Let’s Go to Nursery!‘ and introduces the characters of Bee and Billy.

In this second book the two friends are visiting the city farm. They get to interact with the animals and feed them and learn about how the farm works. Through the rhyming narration and the bold, colourful illustrations young children will enjoy learning about the animals and all about farm life.

The book follows the children as they have their little adventure on the farm and shows how much fun they are having as well as how much they are learning too. I adore Bee and Billy, they are two very cute characters. Watching them play and having the time of their lives goes to show just how much fun children can have to be around animals. I know my children when they were younger loved visiting the farm.

The book is just a pleasure to read and would work well for a new reader, a bedtime story or even a class read too, maybe just before a class visit to a farm would be an ideal time.

Let’s Go to the Farm! is made from thick paper so it will be hard for a young child to rip it. You can feel confident enough to leave a child who can’t read yet alone with it for them to look at the amazing full-page illustrations and make their own stories up to go with the images.
