Picture Book Neighborhoods: Community/Farm


 This subheading has moved around a bit - at one point I had farm animals in the animals, farm vehicles in the vehicle section, plants in the nature section, etc. In my last update of the section I moved all the items together and while it's hard to judge because of the movement of the collection and our renovation, it seems to have worked out well - at the very least, it's made it easy for me to pull books for displays and teacher requests.

Recommended Nonfiction about farms, farmers, farm animals, and farm machinery

Recommended fiction about farms, farm animals, and farm vehicles

Other farm titles reviewed in the past

Other titles
  • Otis the tractor series by Loren Long
    • I personally dislike these, but they have been very popular. I think that popularity is waning.
  • ... to the rescue series by John Himmelman
    • I love these, but they're mostly out of print. Still amazing storytime choices though.
  • Turkey series by Wendi Silvano
    • These are very popular and there's one for most mainstream holidays. They're not specifically farm-themed, other than the main character of Turkey and other farm animals.
  • Minerva Louise series by Janet Stoeke
    • I love this series, but it's out of print and it's just not used much anymore.
