What if a farm looked familiar at first glance... but every animal had a marvelous surprise waiting to be discovered?
When a bus full of children arrives at Abe and Anna's special kind of farm, they're greeted by animals that look the same as the ones they know, yet wonderfully different. A Jacob sheep with twisty horns. A Silkie hen as soft as a puff. A Muscovy duck that hisses instead of quacks. A Siamese cat with crossed eyes and a booming voice. Each encounter invites curiosity, laughter, and learning.
- Understanding that animals of the same species can look and behave differently
- Introduction to real animal breeds such as Jacob sheep, Mohair goats, Muscovy ducks, and Appaloosa horses
- Encouraging curiosity, observation, and comparing/contrasting traits
- Reinforcing patterns, repetition, and early literacy through rhythmic storytelling
- Exploring nature, farm life, and animal care
- Supporting vocabulary development with fun sound words and descriptive phrases
- Includes an engaging banana hunt to build visual scanning skills
Told in playful, rhythmic lines that echo a classic farmyard favorite, A Special Kind of Farm celebrates the charm of real animal breeds and the unique traits that make them extraordinary. Children will love the silly sounds, memorable repetition, and the hunt for the hidden banana on every page.
Step onto a farm where every animal has a story, every page brings a surprise, and every reader leaves knowing that being different is something truly special.
Perfect for homeschool lessons, classrooms, story time, and farm-themed units.
