The Farm

The Farm teaches children vocabulary about the farm and farm animals, illustrated by French illustrator Alain Grée.

This fun and educational book, themed around everything to do with farm and farm animals, will keep young children entertained for hours. Farm takes a narrative approach in which two children, Mary and Max, show young readers around their aunt’s and uncle’s farm. We see them visiting the wheat fields, stables, milking barn, orchard and vegetable patch as well as taking a ride in a tractor.

All this and more is charmingly depicted by French illustrator Alain Grée, whose stunning illustrations leap out from every page.

Alain Grée is a French author and illustrator of children’s books. He has had over 300 books published, which have been translated into 20 different languages. He also worked as a children’s broadcaster on French national television, produced three detective novels, ten ship navigation books and was a journalist for 20 years for Voiles et Voiliers (sailing ships) magazine. Alain’s main hobby was sailing. He owned several boats since the 1970s and crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice. He found that his sailing trips provided the perfect time out to work on new children’s stories and illustrations.
