Gr 1–3—Combining informative content with striking images, this set provides readers with a solid introduction to farm machines and the work they perform. Each volume alternates between a page of text and a full-page photo, engaging students' senses as they actively "read" the abundant images, including a computer-aided design of an intricate Iowa corn maze and a detailed cross section of planted carrots. Earthy browns and lush greens are abundant throughout the series, with the latter serving as the background on the text pages; here, the large black print pops against such a verdant backdrop. Facts abound, such as the weight of a small bale of hay (70 pounds!), while the vividly descriptive language and clear writing style should appeal to students with differing learning and reading skills.
