Thank you for a nice review on this children's book that teaches children by fun playing and learning. The story is about farmer Beau and his wife, Bamma, a kitten they name her Kailey, and a bunny named Sammy. When farmer and his wife decide to bring a new pet, Kailey and Sammy start to worry about the love they were getting from farmer and his wife. Nice teaches children to overcome the sibling rivalry.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

Though it is a children's book, even adults can feel nice and get amused by the story of the small cats and the farmer family. Children can enjoy the nice pictures that go along with the story and, at the same time, learn valuable teachings for life such as accepting a new member in the family.

It reminds me of animal farm though they have nothing related, nice story with a beautiful synergy. Mostly for children though can fit in.

Sounds like a cute book with lots of lessons for kids to understand how to be accepting of new arrivals to the family. I also think it would great for those families that are adopting.

What a unique way to bring understanding to children who are going to have a sibling. Children relate to animals, and the cat and bunny in this story sound so relatable in their wondering about a new baby. Great job on this! The sample was two pages long, and until I read this, I had no idea what the book was about other than a farmer and his wife.

I totally agree with your review, this seems like an adorable book for elementary school age children. I think I'll suggest it to my friend who has three boys under 10, I'm sure they would enjoy it immensely!

:) I was actually connected to the picturesque, it's a nice story that somehow reflects on the society. It teaches a lot and I'll love to read more of this. It's fun and the connectivity to it is so pure.. Sammy and Kailey got to learn that living together with other breed of creatures can't be a bad idea after all

The title alone was enough to make me smile reminding old song from childhood. So, I wasn't expecting to find out that story would be based on such serious subject and will raise important topics. Very well done!

My kids are way too old for this book, but I can proudly say that I was lucky enough to not face such issues while raising them. Still, I am able admi story may be useful to other parents.

Farmer Beau's Farm by Kathleen Geiger

Very engaging and descriptive words for the story of Farmer Beau and the relationships on the farm. Using small animals such as the kittens and the bunny, give the story a likable way for children of various age range to relate to how siblings are to each other, and how families are united. And sometimes there are reasons that they leave the family, written in positive way, without overdoing the story. The use of illustrations gives anyone reading the story themselves or to a child, another way, to tell the story in a visual way. The story is very heart warming, with sharing adventures of the kittens and bunny that the "new" addition to the family seems natural for the reader as it is in life itself.
The author uses the story to relate to the reader of acceptance of change in the life on the farm in a positive way through her words and pictures.
I would recommend this book and it's author to others, with also a 4 out of 4 rating. Easy to read, easy to relate to the story and not overdone with descriptive words.

I wouldn't have thought to have created an analogy between this story and that of Cain and Abel. Thanks for the review.
