What's not to love about dairy farming?:
A concise, informative & amusing book that earned an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up from my preschoolers! From a teacher's perspective, the text reads easily and keeps the children's focus (no easy feat with a group of 5 year olds). From the child's perspective, the ice cream making activity was a huge hit (& easy enough for each child to do with minimal assistance), and being able to outwit your parents in dairy trivia (what is a flink?) is fun! I bought the book to support a science unit lesson plan & it was such a hit that we've ended up planning a field trip to a local dairy farm in the Spring. I'm very pleased with this excellent addition to my classroom library.
EXCELLENT BOOK!:
This book is extremely well-written with the elementary student in mind. It is both fun and fact-filled! The kids don't even know they are learning! I am an Enlgish teacher and I used this book in my class with great results. It gave me a week's worth of activities and discussions. It is a great preparatory tool for a field trip and also includes a delicious and easy recipe for ice cream- and clean-up is a breeze! The kids absolutely loved it! I will use it every year and I even amaze my friends with my homemade ice cream! Keep writing Andy Murphy!
