Our Farm by Michael J. Rosen

Our Farm: Four Seasons with Five Kids on One Family’s Farm by Michael J. Rosen, reviewed by Tanya Grunwell, Children’s Department, Hoyt Library
(Darby Creek Publishing, 2008, 144 pages, $18.95)
Recommended for ages 9-12

What is it like to live on a family farm? No, not a farm from a picture book with one cow, one chicken, and one pig, but a REAL family farm with lots of cattle and crops of alfalfa. Find out in this one-year photographic journal about the Bennett family from Ohio. The Bennetts don’t actually make their living farming (Dad is a plumber), but they live their lives farming. Join them on their 150 acre playground as the Bennett kids fish, swim, sled, hunt, and oh…help on the farm too.
