This looks like a very fun children's book that teaches kids valuable lessons. I like that it's not too preachy and has great illustrations to fit with the story. What a great way for children to learn and deal with a new baby in the family. Thanks for your review.

When wonderful children's books like this come up as book of the day, I find myself regretting that my boys are no longer small. They would have enjoyed a book like this. I love a story that teaches children lessons of acceptance and getting along with others. Thank you for your insightful review!

What an interesting book to teach children moral values. It's quite outstanding that the author used illustrations to convey the message to the readers. Am sure children will enjoy reading the story. I've never tried children's book before. This will be my first. Thank you for your great review.

I have always thought that children's book are only meant for their entertain and not for us 'mature people' but this book has really captured my heart and it has given me urge to be reading many of them much more.its kinda like one of those books with fairy tale stories like those of the Cinderella story.
your review was perfect and well understood.

This is another lovely book for kids about inclusion, acceptance and learning to get along with people who may be different from you. Farmer Beau's Farm by Kathleen Geiger has its own unique detailed illustration by Adam Musk, showing the beauty of the farm animals and the landscape. For those curious about the book, please read MisTri's review which shows that this is about how Kailey the Kitten and Sammy the Bunny learn not to fear the arrival of a new farm animal, which is vastly different from them. She writes: "I mostly love how Ms. Geiger was able to teach her lessons without being preachy. Children won’t even know they’re being taught while reading this story, yet they’ll learn about acceptance, love, and security, all while having fun." Indeed, a fun-filled illustrated book for kids with something new to learn!

The book is great teaching not only the children but all humans that friendship with love is what makes the world a better place. This is not just for the children, lesson are also there for parents. Indeed not only for entertainments but also morals.

As i have have gone through the book i think love is jealousy as Kailey and Summy Bunny are afraid that Mrs Bamma and Mr Beau will no longer love them as they used to do due to introduction of the new creature in the farm but at long last we see love dominating in the compound for equal love is demonstrated for all creatures feel as sense of security equally distributed,hard work and unity also prevails

Love the review MsTri! I think children of all ages would love this book as well. Reading the book sample, I also love the text-picture-text-picture format and how they used animals and their characterizations to bring the lesson to life.
