Quiero Ser Granjero

Review

Through clear close-up color photographs, this Spanish translation of I Want to be a Farmer provides early readers with the basics of the job of farmer. I like that women, men and children of different races are portrayed. -- Stephanie Tournas ― Youth Services Book Review Published On: 2016-12-21

This 24-page book introduces young readers to the occupation of farmer. Much of the work around a typical farm is shown, with farm children doing those jobs which would naturally fall to them... Each page is filled with a photograph and a white text box containing explanatory information. Animals, machines, and crops are all briefly mentioned... A good choice to read to kindergarteners before taking them to the fair. -- Teresa Bateman ― Puget Sound Council for the Review of Children's and Young Adult Literature Published On: 2017-02-05
