Farmblock (Board book) Christopher Franceschelli. Illustrated by Peskimo. 2019. Harry N. Abrams. 92 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: Cock-a-doodle-doo! Good morning, ducks! Good morning, farm!
Premise/plot:
Does your little one love farm animals? Board books set on the farm
featuring farm animals are abundant. Some have a story. Some don’t. Some
focus more on concepts: colors, numbers, seasons, etc. The story is
very minimal in this one. Through the pages, seasons change. But it
doesn’t start off as being an obvious seasons book. It is like the book
switches tracks halfway through.
My thoughts: I have read other
books In Christopher Franceschelli’s block book series. I typically love
them. Sitting down with a new one is usually a joy. I do like this one.
I just don’t love it. It is important to keep in mind that I am not the
target audience. I think little ones will still enjoy the chunky size,
the easy to turn pages, the flips and flaps.
