Country and city mice alike will delight in Julia Rothman’s charming illustrated guide to the curious parts and pieces of rural living. Dissecting everything from the shapes of squash varieties to how a barn is constructed and what makes up a beehive to crop rotation patterns, Rothman gives a richly entertaining tour of the quirky details of country life.
Also available in this series: Nature Anatomy, Nature Anatomy Notebook, Ocean Anatomy, and Food Anatomy.
Farm Anatomy
Have you or your child ever wondered how farm work, the names of the farm equipment, the types of cows or how to milk a cow?
The Farm Anatomy book in the Julia Rothman Series will tell you all that, and so much more. More importantly it’s explained with full colour, beautiful illustrations.
Below are some sample pages. You’ll see the books are not text heavy which makes them easy to read for children. I will be using the book for homeschooling. With this one, I’ll be using it as part of a farm/agriculture study next year.
I intend to get all the book in the series and I can’t wait to see what the next one is.
Buy Farm Anatomy from Amazon.com and help support the blog or Nature’s Workshop Plus.
