Book Reviews of Our Animal Friends At Maple Hill Farm
Book Review: special book for animal lovers
Summary: 5 Stars
this was one of my favorite books as a child and now I read it to my child. It has whimsical watercolor drawings and I love the animals detailed idiosynchratic behavior & personality characteristics. I spent hours pouring over the informative facts about farm animals and rarely made it to the end of the book as a child! It really is a special book, written mostly in the first-person voice of a young person, not politically correct but realistic (only the safe, loving and contributing dogs were kept at the farm). Enjoy!Book Review: Old family favorite
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughters loved this book when I read it to them back in the 80's. The humor and realness of it was a pleasure to me and it was one I never got bored re-reading repeatedly. Even though my daughters became old enough to read it themselves, they still enjoyed me reading to them. It was just something we enjoyed together. I'm so pleased that I now have it for my future grandchildren, as our old copy (that was used when we got it) fell apart years ago and is in pieces somewhere in my attic.Book Review: My favorite book for 20 something years.....now my son's too
Summary: 5 Stars
I was 3 years or so when my mom starting reading me this book. It's one of the most memorable events of my childhood. Now my book is falling apart but my son, who is almost 4, can say every line with me. It is so charming and funny. Tonight I sat down to try and find a replacement for my old book and was delighted to find it on Amazon. All my friends want it for their children too. I hope Alice and Martin know who much it means to all of us. Thanks and keep it for generationsBook Review: A certain child-pleaser
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter, who is now 34, loved this book when she was a child, and my grandson, now 6, loved it too. For families who love animals, this one is a sure winner. My grandson, at age 3, could proudly point to each of the animals in turn and tell me all of their names. It's as much fun to read to children as it is for the children to listen to and follow along with the delightful drawings of the myriad members of the animal kingdom living at Maple Hill Farm.Book Review: Yay!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so happy to see this book back in print. This was a favorite book of mine in childhood, and I am looking forward to sharing it with my children. I have my old copy, but it is worn with love (I used to read it over and over again) and have been looking for another copy so that I can keep one safe for future generations. Judging from the price of the original addition on the used book market, I am not alone in recognizing what a treasure this book is!
