"El gallo saluda al día.
The rooster greets the day."

This short and sweet bilingual book introduces little ones to all sorts of animals that appear on the farms.

From roosters to horses to pigs to sheep - this book has it all!

"Hola, vacas.
Hello, cows."

Adorable illustrations adorn every page with bright, bold shapes and colors.

The animals are so cute - particularly the cows! And every phrase is both in Spanish and in English.

I am absolutely LOVING this little series - they are so short and sweet that they are an absolute delight to read.

A HUGE thank you to the author and publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review

5 stars for inclusivity and friendliness as the narrator greets every animal on the farm! But this seems to be the only plot point.

Bonus points because I tried to rip this apart with my bare hands and it didn’t even budge.

HOLA, GRANJA is a fun bilingual book that takes infants and young toddlers on a journey around the farm. Babies will love saying hello to different animals, like sheep, pigs, chickens, and dogs. The book is written in both Spanish and English to encourage learning.

What I loved: This book is part of the indestructibles line, and it is fantastic! Babies can chew on it safely, as it is made with non-toxic materials and will not fall apart. It is also impossible to tear and easy to wash. This will stand up to even the strongest babies/toddlers!

As for the book itself, it's very cute, with low words to image ratio, making the pages turn fast. This is great for infants, whose attention spans will match. The animals and their settings are bright and colorful, with plenty of appeal for developing eyes. The language is simple and repetitive, which is perfect for this young age. The added bonus is that it will teach these animal names in both Spanish and English.

Final verdict: Perfect for infants and young toddlers, HOLA, GRANJA is a delightful journey around the farm that will stand up to even the toughest use! Highly recommend for very young readers.

Please note that I received a review copy. All opinions are my own.

Hello, Farm! by Maddie Frost. BOARD BOOK. Workman Publishing, 2018. $6. 978-1523504671

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

This well illustrated, indestructible book greets animals around the farm. Each animal is greeted in its appropriate place on the farm, and by its name.


This is great book for babies and toddlers. The book is indestructible – meaning the pages can’t rip, they are chew proof, nontoxic, and washable! The pictures are captivating and inviting for young children.

We had a moo 🐮 theme going on at the moment 😁

Hello farm
By: Maddie Frost

Such a cute book, we absolutely loved this book. My baby girl Phoebe loves moo 🐮.

I can't remember how we got this book, however it's a different type of material book, It's very thin paper.
It's a nice and cute short book. Phoebe absolutely loved it as soon as we found the cow she squealed so loud.

My baby girl loved it, and will definitely keep reading this one.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

This book is so cool. When I got it I didn’t really think it would be indestructible but let me tell you-it is! My 4 year old uses it as well as my 1 year old. For anyone out there who knows 1 year-olds, you know they put everything in the mouth. He is teething and even still barely a wrinkle! I’ve even tried to put it to the test. IT WILL NOT RIP! this book is great for little children and you it gives you peace of mind knowing it cannot be chewed on or ripped. It’s also a cute read on animals. Def recommend!

Got this as a Christmas gift. It's a great book for babies. Chewing, grabbing, and pulling on it doesn't ruin it. So clever.

Working in a school these books are truly indestructible! The kids can’t seem to hurt them. This insures the books last years.

A favorite first book about farm animals for littles. Cute drawings and this book is in a durable, almost indestructible material for babies. :-)

I bought 3 books like this for a Baby Shower coming up and thought I would read them just to see what I'm giving to this child, and I thought the book was cute. I feel like there should have been more animals, but it's fine. I hope there's a book coming with more animals.

My son loves to "read" the Indestructible books. He loves looking at all the colours & putting them in his mouth!

Almost a year later and though they are wrinkly, there's no tears or rips or damage. The babies love them!

It's a big day on the farm as we say hello to all the barnyard animals. The rooster wakes everyone up, and we meet the horses, cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, and dogs. We say hello to everyone as the animals begin their day.

Es un gran día en la granja, ya que saludamos a todos los animales de corral. El gallo despierta a todos, y nos encontramos con los caballos, vacas, pollos, cerdos, ovejas y perros. Saludamos a todos mientras los animales comienzan su día.

This book is so adorable! All the animal are so cute and cuddly.
¡Este libro es tan adorable! Todos los animales son tan lindos y cariñosos.

The writing is very simple, and just right for babies and toddlers learning their first words. The illustrations are bright and colorful, with a cartoony style and simple designs.

La escritura es muy simple, y perfecto para los bebés y los niños pequeños que aprenden sus primeras palabras. Las ilustraciones son brillantes y coloridas, con un estilo caricaturesco y diseños sencillos.

The book really does appear to be indestructible. I tried tearing one of the pages, and it wouldn't tear, although it crinkled up a little. I was surprised that the pages are so thin. This is NOT a board book. The pages are made of some kind of thick fiber, and there is no cover or spine. The pages are sewn together into a thin booklet. No wonder they say that babies could chew on it, and it is washable. Without a cover for babies to chew on, and no spine to get torn, the book really is indestructible!

El libro realmente parece ser indestructible. Intenté romper una de las páginas, y no se rompió, aunque se arrugaba un poco. Me sorprendió que las páginas son tan delgadas. Las páginas están hechas de algún tipo de fibra gruesa, y no hay cubierta o columna vertebral. Las páginas se cosen juntas en un cuadernillo delgado. No es de extrañar que digan que los bebés podrían masticarlo, y es lavable. Sin una cubierta para que los bebés mastiquen, y no hay columna vertebral que se rompa, el libro realmente es indestructible.

Very simple, basically saying hello to the various animals on the farm but at least a good way to teach kids the words. Colorful simple images. We got this because it said it was indestructible and although my baby is not old enough to grab at the pages yet and try to rip them, the book does look surprisingly sturdy and may indeed hold up better than her board books to future potential abuse.
