Book Reviews of Our Animal Friends At Maple Hill Farm
Book Review: A funny, realistic view of animals living on the farm with humans
Summary: 5 Stars
My youngest son is now 13, and a relative gave us this book as a gift when he was a baby. At age 2, it became his favorite book, and we would read it before nap time together, laughing at the personalities and foibles of these wonderful animals. Anyone who has lived with animals will recognize that the writers have known and loved their animals well, appreciating them for their strengths and adjusting to their faults. No matter how many times I have read this book, I still laugh at the silly sheep who faints when she is shorn, and the dog who loves rocks. As far as one criticism about the dogs who bite children and pee on beds being described as "useless," the writers live on a farm, and animals on a farm that cannot perform some useful, helpful function to offset their weaknesses are indeed a liability, and need to find other homes.
The illustrations are just as charming as the text, and I hope to read this to my grandchildren someday. Bravo for the reprinting!
Summary of Our Animal Friends At Maple Hill Farm
Who lives at Maple Hill Farm?
Two dogs, five horses, a pig, some geese, lots of chickens, a few cows, a few goats, several sheep, and four special cats -- these are the animals at Maple Hill Farm.
With simple text that is both affectionate and wry, and irresistible illustrations that burst with personality, Alice and Martin Provensen bring their barnyard friends to life for the delight of animal lovers both young and old.
