I HIGHLY recommend this activity book. It was filled with interesting illustrations and a wide variety of puzzles, tasks, etc that was farming related. It somehow managed to combine this very solid information about topics concerning the farming life. I would 100p buy this if I had children in my network. I know that I would have loved this kind of activity book as a kid. I'm very interested in checking out other activity books by this author.

I quite literally have nothing bad to say about it.

As a big fan of Julia Rothman’s Anatomy collection, I was very excited to receive an advanced copy of this activity book from NetGalley.

With its captivating illustrations and smart, but not too challenging games, this activity book is sure to win the hearts of anyone interested in the farming theme. I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed playing the games in this book, even as an adult. To me, a gamified approach to learning is always a win.

Overall, it’s a fun little addition to the collection and I do recommend picking it up for curious children interested in animals and learning about farming. Or for nerdy adults like me who love to relax and enjoy a cozy moment immersed in a theme with top-notch illustrations.

This activity book is perfect for young kids to learn more about farm life! I will definitely be purchasing this for our family when it is released. There are so many things that tie into what we homeschool our children in this workbook and it will be great for them to learn about animals, herbs and flowers that we have on our homestead. It can also make a great busy book while in the car or when you're busy with a sibling. Directions are easy to follow and the graphics and quality of them are wonderful. I think I might even learn a thing or two with them!

Our family has collected nearly all of Julia Rothman's books over the last few years and have enjoyed them greatly. This was the first activity book of hers that we have encountered, however. The illustrations, as always, are simply fantastic. The book featured a wide variety of activities that were interesting and engaging. My 8 and 10 year old collaborated to write the following review after engaging with the entire book:

"We really liked it and ew think the activities like the crossword puzzles and the word searches were very fun. The activity where you follow the bunny's hops was very hard as we couldn't follow the hops. Overall, it was a very fun activity book and we very much enjoyed completing the different activities and have learned a lot about forms. It makes a great companion book with the Farm Anatomy book and we ended up using the Farm Anatomy book for a few of the activities. We would recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 6-12 who wants to learn more about farms"

We love Julia Rothman's Anatomy series, and this is no exception. Full of coordinating activities, diagramming, labeling, and other projects to go along with the Farm Anatomy book. Can use this in conjunction with book for a nice nature study course for homeschooling. Highly recommend this series!

My family and I adored this farm themed activity book! Full of great illustrations, challenging puzzles, and enough farm related information to educate even the adults in the family, this book is a great resource for making farm life even more fun!

This amazing little activity book is a perfect blend of truly educational content and fun. The learning activities go well beyond any other activity book I’ve seen, with labeling parts of plants or identifying different plants. There is great information about plants kids might not otherwise be familiar with, as well as teaches about some of the equipment used on a farm. Lastly, the illustrations are gorgeous!

I accessed a free electronic copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

I dont think I have come across a Julia rothman's book that I don't enjoy. We use all the books for different homeschool science. The activities are so fun. I love the rustic colors. This book, in my opinion, won't work as an ebook.
My biggest frustration is that these book are clearly for the very young crowd. While I like that it teaches about real farm life to young kids. I hope they come out with some things for older kids or even adults! I'll definitely b3 recommending these to my other friends.
I received a copy and all opinions are my own.

While I won’t buy an activity book for my classroom, I’ll buy this for my 8 year old farmer-in-training son. Packed with fun farm factoids and activities, this will keep him entertained for hours and doing incidental reading as well.

We own the Julia Rothman trilogy so the chance to review a digital copy of the upcoming Farm Anatomy Activity Book is a real bonus for our tractor loving boy. And wow! It's gorgeous. I might even love it more than the original books!

Packed with every kind of puzzle and Julia's beautiful trademark illustrations, this activity book is a must for children who love learning about growing, farming and working life outdoors. There is so much to enjoy and it's clearly presented. I would love to buy this book as a gift but I will first be putting it on my own family wishlist and waiting excitedly for publication.

The Farm Anatomy activity book is a perfect intro to farm/agriculture for younger elementary ages! It’s colorful, full of a variety of activities, and extremely well rounded with topics that any young learner can engage in and learn from!

Our family is a homeschool family and this semester we are participating in virtual agriculture field trips - this book contains perfect activities for me to introduce before and review after our field trips! It will make my life easier and take our learning deeper.

Thank you NetGalley and Storey Publishing for the ARC.
