Review Detail

SPENCER ON THE FARM is a cute board book that takes young readers on a trip to the farm. Spencer and his family are visiting a farm, and they get to see the cows, chickens, and more as they explore. The unique board book shape is the size of Spencer, and he appears on the left side of each spread. On each page, items are labeled throughout for early word recognition.

What I loved: Spencer is such a fun character and this adds to a great series for little ones who will appreciate character recognition across books and following his story in each. This kind of consistency is great for developing readers. The unique shape adds some extra fun, and colorful illustrations on each page bring the scenes to life. The brief look around at animals and crops will charm young readers, and the summary at the end includes some animal noises that children will get into repeating. The labels on items throughout the book help with early word recognition.

Final verdict: A colorful and charming board book, SPENCER ON THE FARM is a great pick for infants and young toddlers to enjoy visiting a farm with Spencer.
