Descriere

Description Explore the natural world with Gail Gibbons in this introduction to farming and the work done on a farm throughout the seasons. "Gibbons depicts aspects of farm life with her characteristic bright colors and stylized forms. Every season brings its own specific chores, indoors and out, its own crops and its own food. There are the forces of nature, and the ways the farmer harnesses or copes with the elements using mechanical devices." --Publishers Weekly About the author According to The Washington Post, Gail Gibbons "has taught more preschoolers and early readers about the world than any other children's writer-illustrator."
