Review: The Pop-Up Farm

Rod Campbell – The Pop-Up Farm

The Pop-Up Farm

  • Publisher: Campbell Books Ltd
  • Pages: 16
  • Part of a series: No
  • Summary: A little mouse goes its way over the farm. She meets many farm animals including the cat.
  • Review: I still love the story of Old MacDonald and his farm (Book: Old MacDonald had a farm) and the funny song we all know. But I was searching for an other very simple book, for children, who are very new in learning english or for whom it is very hard to understand english books. So I found this book „The  Pop-Up Farm“ and I like it very much. It is much action in it and it has got a funny little story – I love this mouse. And it was fun to discover the pages ans look for the little mouse. So it is perfect in my opinion and so I can recommend it to all of you.

Review: The Pop-up Farm

Maureen Roffy – The Pop-up Farm

The Pop-Up Farm

  • Publisher: Macmillan Children’s Books
  • Pages: 8
  • Part of a series: No
  • Summary: Mice don´t like cats. So does a mouse on a farm and so she finds her way through the farm without meeting one. Every animal she meets makes the reader of the story discover a new pop-up item or pull-the-tab feature.
  • Review: I was looking for a book with animals for young german children in primary school, which learn english as a subject in school. They like to look at books and learn new topics better and with much more fun. So I was very happy, when I found this wonderful book. I am sure, my children will love it too. Especial the pop-up and pull-the-tab elements make it so funny to explore and the mouse and it cat-problem even more. I can only recommend it to other readers, teachers and parents.

  • Part of a series: No
  • Contents:
    Ten rubber ducks are start their journey on ship, when a storm comes. So the captain shouts “ 10 rubber ducks overboard“ and for the rubber ducks a big adventure begins to take place…
  • Review: I bought the book during my trip to Glasgow last summer. An from the beginning until now I love it. And my class loves it, too.The pictures are very beautiful and the story of the rubber ducks wonderful and with much phantasy. Little children can learn the numbers ans names of some animals while reading it and start to dream of being one of this little rubber ducks and experience nice things like them by their own. It is great that the book comes with a CD, so you can listen to the book even if their is no one, you can read it and you can hear someone speaking in his mother tongue.  I can recommend it to all people, children and adults.
