This engaging volume begins by talking about what a field trip is and what a farm is. It then goes on to provide a defining characteristic for a number of types of farms, including a rice farm, cranberry farm, sheep farm, dairy farm, and corn farm. The text also briefly explains how students should behave while on a farm field-trip. The structure is repetitive, but new words, along with some potentially unfamiliar settings, will challenge young readers. Full-color photographs bring the locations to life. The back matter provides a picture glossary and index. A note to parents and teachers offers suggestions for introducing the book and a related activity after reading.
