I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. I love these activity books, which offer lots to do and a chance to learn about how things work on the farm.

This book is the perfect companion for Farm Anatomy (which I adore, along with the entire Anatomy collection). It has activities suitable for a variety of ages, and several will make perfect conversation starters for mixed-age groups, including homeschooling and after-schooling families. I especially love how versatile this book is—not only is it great to use with its intended companion text, but it is also easily adaptable to use in conjunction with a trip to a farm park (whether historical, modern, or micro), farmers' market, or co-op. Some of them could even be used to enhance a simple trip to the grocery store.

I sincerely loved Julia Rothman's Farm Anatomy Activity Book and can't wait to use it with my kiddos.

I adore these books! The activities are varied and diverse, focusing on different skills and so many different aspects of the topics presented. I want to have all of them for my classroom and I want all of them for the library I am building for my son. These are so awesome.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

This book is perfect for teaching younger ones about farming. It's got great illustrations. It also contains activities that you can do with your child including growing a bean plant in a bag. Even as an adult I learned some new things from this book and enjoyed the activities that we have done. Highly recommend it for anymore with children whither in the country or not.

This is a beautiful illustrated work book. It has a lot of activities that would go along with Julia Rothman's other books. I am excited to share this book along with our kids. The variety of activities is great and will keep the kids engaged throughout the whole book. It is a little more advanced but my younger daughter things it is great as well.

Julia Rothman has once again created the perfect activity book for primary aged children.
A wonderful accompaniment to her earlier work, Farm Anatomy, this Activity Book is sure to excite and delight both children and those child-like at heart.

Initially I regretted showing my nine and five year old children the activity book as they immediately demanded we swap our homeschool book work plans for this, and I'm so glad they did.
We had the best day going through all the sections and answering the questions.

The graphics are eye-catching, the activities are engaging, and best of all the book is jam packed with education.
It worked well for both my children. My eldest was able to complete the book without much assistance and my youngest found the book engaging as I helped her through the activities.

This book would make for a wonderful gift or expansion on Julia Rothman's Farm Anatomy book.
If you are homeschooling I would highly recommend adding this to your curriculum.

I was gifted a digital copy of Julia Rothman's Farm Anatomy Activity Book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Thank you Julia Rothman, Storey Publishing, and Net Galley for the opportunity.

This is a fantastic activity book that would be a fun for kids. It could be used as a learning tool for homeschoolers. The activities cover a range of topics like plant biology, animals and identifying the parts of a chainsaw.

You’ll find word searches, crosswords, how to draw and other puzzles covering all parts of homestead and farm life. I wish something like this had been available when my kids were young.

Taking the kids to the family farm to visit grandma? This is a great plane or car activity book!

I HIGHLY recommend this activity book. It was filled with interesting illustrations and a wide variety of puzzles, tasks, etc that was farming related. It somehow managed to combine this very solid information about topics concerning the farming life. I would 100p buy this if I had children in my network. I know that I would have loved this kind of activity book as a kid. I'm very interested in checking out other activity books by this author.

I quite literally have nothing bad to say about it.

As a big fan of Julia Rothman’s Anatomy collection, I was very excited to receive an advanced copy of this activity book from NetGalley.

With its captivating illustrations and smart, but not too challenging games, this activity book is sure to win the hearts of anyone interested in the farming theme. I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed playing the games in this book, even as an adult. To me, a gamified approach to learning is always a win.

Overall, it’s a fun little addition to the collection and I do recommend picking it up for curious children interested in animals and learning about farming. Or for nerdy adults like me who love to relax and enjoy a cozy moment immersed in a theme with top-notch illustrations.

This activity book is perfect for young kids to learn more about farm life! I will definitely be purchasing this for our family when it is released. There are so many things that tie into what we homeschool our children in this workbook and it will be great for them to learn about animals, herbs and flowers that we have on our homestead. It can also make a great busy book while in the car or when you're busy with a sibling. Directions are easy to follow and the graphics and quality of them are wonderful. I think I might even learn a thing or two with them!

Our family has collected nearly all of Julia Rothman's books over the last few years and have enjoyed them greatly. This was the first activity book of hers that we have encountered, however. The illustrations, as always, are simply fantastic. The book featured a wide variety of activities that were interesting and engaging. My 8 and 10 year old collaborated to write the following review after engaging with the entire book:

"We really liked it and ew think the activities like the crossword puzzles and the word searches were very fun. The activity where you follow the bunny's hops was very hard as we couldn't follow the hops. Overall, it was a very fun activity book and we very much enjoyed completing the different activities and have learned a lot about forms. It makes a great companion book with the Farm Anatomy book and we ended up using the Farm Anatomy book for a few of the activities. We would recommend this book to anyone between the ages of 6-12 who wants to learn more about farms"

We love Julia Rothman's Anatomy series, and this is no exception. Full of coordinating activities, diagramming, labeling, and other projects to go along with the Farm Anatomy book. Can use this in conjunction with book for a nice nature study course for homeschooling. Highly recommend this series!
Thank you Net Galley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

My family and I adored this farm themed activity book! Full of great illustrations, challenging puzzles, and enough farm related information to educate even the adults in the family, this book is a great resource for making farm life even more fun!

This amazing little activity book is a perfect blend of truly educational content and fun. The learning activities go well beyond any other activity book I’ve seen, with labeling parts of plants or identifying different plants. There is great information about plants kids might not otherwise be familiar with, as well as teaches about some of the equipment used on a farm. Lastly, the illustrations are gorgeous!

I accessed a free electronic copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

This activity book by Julia Rothman is absolutely gorgeous. The information is extremely helpful as we switch to homeschooling our son. We are are excited to do activities together.

I dont think I have come across a Julia rothman's book that I don't enjoy. We use all the books for different homeschool science. The activities are so fun. I love the rustic colors. This book, in my opinion, won't work as an ebook.
My biggest frustration is that these book are clearly for the very young crowd. While I like that it teaches about real farm life to young kids. I hope they come out with some things for older kids or even adults! I'll definitely b3 recommending these to my other friends.
I received a copy and all opinions are my own.

While I won’t buy an activity book for my classroom, I’ll buy this for my 8 year old farmer-in-training son. Packed with fun farm factoids and activities, this will keep him entertained for hours and doing incidental reading as well.
