First sentence: Cock-a-doodle-doo! Good morning, ducks! Good morning, farm!
Premise/plot: Does your little one love farm animals? Board books set on the farm featuring farm animals are abundant. Some have a story. Some don’t. Some focus more on concepts: colors, numbers, seasons, etc. The story is very minimal in this one. Through the pages, seasons change. But it doesn’t start off as being an obvious seasons book. It is like the book switches tracks halfway through.
My thoughts: I have read other books In Christopher Franceschelli’s block book series. I typically love them. Sitting down with a new one is usually a joy. I do like this one. I just don’t love it. It is important to keep in mind that I am not the target audience. I think little ones will still enjoy the chunky size, the easy to turn pages, the flips and flaps.

Farmblock is one of the most charming and immersive entries in the Block Book series, capturing the rhythm of farm life with the same clever die‑cut design that makes these books so irresistible to little hands.
From the moment you open it, the book feels alive with color and movement. Each page offers a peek into a different part of the farm, animals waking up, crops growing, tractors working, seasons changing, and the layered cutouts make every turn feel like a tiny discovery.
What sets this book apart is how it manages to be both playful and genuinely informative. Toddlers get the joy of naming animals and spotting familiar shapes, while older kids start to understand the cycle of a farm through the year.
The illustrations are bold and friendly, the text is simple but rhythmic, and the whole book has a warm, wholesome energy that makes it perfect for cozy laps or curious solo exploration.
Like the best Block Books, it’s sturdy, thoughtful, and beautifully designed, the kind of board book that becomes a household favorite because it grows with your child and never stops offering something to look at or touch.
It’s a little world in your hands, and it’s delightful.

What a simple, cute and inviting board for early childhood and early elementary readers. Limited text in an appropriate size font for young readers. The illustrations, some die-cut pages and pages that flip out for several pages or left and right keep the reader searching and interested. I actually laughed when I looked up this book in the catalog at my public library and it stated it has 92 pages, but after reading it I understand how.
I will be using this book for a Farm to Table Camp for kindergarten through second grade. I think it would work well read in small groups to gain or renew basic knowledge about farms.

I really like some parts of the book but can't pay attention to most of it. One to come back to later.

I really like this series of books. There are a lot of page interaction elements. Sturdy enough for a little one and lots of great scenes from a whole year on a farm!

Fun board book for a kid who loves farm animals. Cool die-cut and lift-the-flap pages. Well constructed for young readers.

My son loves to turn the pages and see everything hidden. He enjoyed it a lot.

Would get 5 stars if the writing was in lower case. It is easier for us youngins to recognise word shapes when you use lower case letters.

Fun board book pages that takes babies through a year of seasons and activities. From planting seeds and chopping wood to baking pies and carving pumpkins, this book has it all. Many pages have fun fold-outs, adding to the enjoyment.
Highly recommend. I might have to buy a copy of this one.
