I don't have children and this genre doesn't appeal to me. But I find it great that this book has animals as characters. I think your recommendation is helpful. Great review.

'Official Review: Farmer Beau's Farm' by Kathleen Geiger well presents the fascinating children's story of the book about Farmer Beau and his wife Bamma discovering six little kittens having come to their farm for avid readers! I love the way in which the reviewer relates the book to larger issues. The point that the author based the book on six kittens actually playing in their garage years ago is worth mentioning in the review. Also, the point that reading the book aloud is easy enough, as mentioned in the review, is remarkable for readers. It was great to learn that the imagery throughout the book is colorful and reminiscent of classic cartoons like Looney Tunes!

Kailey and Sammy seem like two children getting jealous or a new sibling about to be born, that will take all the attention from them. The story of the animals is relatable and I’m sure most children will love it, even I love it.

An excellent children's book with a lesson of never being replaced. This would definitely help children who have anxiety of a younger sibling's birth. Nice review.

It's unfortunate that a children's book lacks professional editing. I however like your comments on the dark blue color used to make the pictures more vibrant. It is compensational. Great review

I love children books especially featuring animals as main characters. They provide reminders of values that are important in everyday living which are sometimes forgotten because of stressful living. I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out how Sammy, Kailey and Malissa interact with each other and how the friends will be able to accept a new animal in their environment.

The author very clearly loves animals. Using a personal experience to create a fun and imaginative book for children to teach them about caring for others is commendable. Thanks for the review :)

Sounds like an exciting read, I think children can pick lessons from this book, for example, learning to accommodate others. Thanks for this review.
