Product Description
The Animals of Farmer Jones, written by Leah Gale, pictures by Richard Scarry. A Little Golden Book, no. 282, published by Golden Press, Western Publishing Co, Racine WI. Copyright renewed 1970, Twelfth Printing 1973. Hardcover book, 24 pages.
Synopsis: The Animals of Farmer Jones is a simple and charming picture book that serves as a gentle introduction to farm life for very young children and a "who's who" of the farm. It's a quiet tour designed to teach children to identify common farm animals, learn their sounds, and understand their simple roles on the farm, all through gentle text and classic, heartwarming artwork..
The book takes the reader on a tour of Farmer Jones's farm, introducing the various animals that live there one by one. Each page or two-page spread typically focuses on a different animal like the pigs and their piglets, who love to eat and roll in the mud, and the horses, who are strong and help with farm work. The text is very straightforward, often describing the sound the animal makes (e.g., "oink," "moo," "cluck"), what it eats, or what its babies are called. Farmer Jones is a kind, background figure who is shown caring for his animals by feeding them and running the farm.
The book's enduring appeal comes largely from Richard Scarry's iconic illustrations. His drawings are warm, friendly, and full of personality. The animals are depicted with sweet, expressive faces that make them instantly lovable to toddlers.
Condition: The book has a name written in the "this book belongs to" space on the inside but is otherwise in excellent condition (see photos).
