Century Farm: One Hundred Years on a Family Farm Paperback – December 1, 2009

This book is being used by the New York City District of Education Kindergarten Classes (NYC DOE), so I got it along with "Then and Now" books. It is quite long! Not a story that a kindergartner could read alone. Takes an adult about 20 minutes to read out loud to a child. Grandma loved the non - fiction story of a century old family farm. Good quality for a paperback edition. About 8 x 11, the size of a typical piece of paper, and with a glossy cover. Informative!

Chris beat us to writing the perfect farm family history book that is about a single family, but entertains all people! It was a delight to learn more about your family's history on the farm, Chris.

Great information on the dairy industry for kids.

An amazing memorable book on modern agriculture. Great context, wonderful photos and an all-around great snapshot of modern dairy farming.

Sorry to say, but I really don't like this book. The text and the photographs are not aligned, so you read about something but see something else in the photograph. This is especially irksome when reading about specific farm equipment. What does a thresher look like? How about the grappling hook they used to load hay into the barn? Couldn't they find photographs? The author writes to an audience that already knows all about farm life. The book would've been so much more successful if she had considered her readers. Some of us live in the suburbs. Some live in the city. How interesting this *could* have been.
