Our Favorite Farm Books

To go along with our F is for Farm preschool unit, I wanted to share some of our favorite farm books. We read a whole bunch of books, but these were the best.

Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type

This is by far our favorite book. It is so funny and the pictures are adorable. Definitely a must read for every farm unit. If you aren't familiar with it, Farmer Brown's cows find an old typewriter in the barn and write him a letter requesting electric blankets. When Farmer Brown refuses, the negotiating begins. Hilarious!

Big Red Barn

This was such a simple story about a day for the animals that live in the big red barn. I just loved the pictures. 

Cindy Moo

Cindy Moo lives in the barn and decides she wants to be able to jump over the moon. Despite the fact that none of the other cows believe in her, Cindy never gives up, and finally finds a creative way to achieve her dream. It's kind of a silly story, but I liked the message of don't give up. 

When Cows Come Home

This was another silly book about what the cows do when the farmer isn't looking. It's fun to pretend that the cows are all out dancing and playing when we aren't watching.

We Love the Dirt

This is a great addition to your farm unit if you are talking about growing things. It is very simple, perfect for beginning readers. 

Farmer Brown Goes Round and Round

In this story Farmer Brown gets sucked up in a twister along with some of his farm animals, and when they come back down there has been a bit of a mix up. Very funny.

Funny Farm

This is a short story about city dog, Edward, on his first trip to the farm. He helps out with all the chores and meets new friends while he's at it. I love Mark Teague books, so this was an obvious choice for me. The illustrations are so cute and unexpected.

There you have it, our favorite farm books. Do you have any good recommendations?
