Come along for a ride through the rolling hills of the farm. Flip each page to keep babies engaged and help the farmer complete chores using different machines. Toddlers and preschoolers will love following along to plant the fields with the tractor, clear logs with a feller buncher, and haul the load away in a flatbed. After clearing the wood, go to the construction site to build a house and furniture with the wood you helped gather. Then, finish up the chores by harvesting the wheat, corn, and garden vegetables! Discover patterns in the squiggly tractor tracks, practice counting birds in the trees, and spot different colors in the items on the page. Combine flipping each flap and learning about machines on the farm for an entertaining experience with your little ones.

Content and formats are based on the legacy of a long-loved company that encourages kids to play in backyards, dig in the dirt, get muddy, and learn where food and shelter come from.

Cottage Door Press: -
Cottage Door Press is an independent publisher of high-quality children's books. Our books are designed to spark curiosity in the littlest readers and fan the flames of lifelong learning. We understand children deserve our respect. That's why we always select artwork and stories that encourage caregivers to "read up" to their little ones--exploring interests together, learning together, and giving their young minds room to grow.
We also believe in creating stories that reflect the boundless possibilities of all children. We hope to create books that inspire little ones to connect, encourage them to dream, give them cause to celebrate, and allow them to see themselves beautifully reflected in the stories they read.
To bring these beautiful stories to life, our diverse and talented staff collaborates with authors and illustrators from all backgrounds and nationalities. We have also partnered with multicultural brands and literacy organizations to make sure our books reflect and reach as many little ones as possible.
Melrose, Katie: -
I was born and raised along the Southern Californian coast where my love for art and reading was cultivated at a young age by my parents. I eventually graduated with a BFA in illustration from California State University of Fullerton and quickly delved into the book illustration world. Being able to freelance from my home studio, I have had the opportunities to work with clients on children's books, children's products and commissioned artworks. With a background in graphic design and hand lettering, I also create greeting cards, stationary products and enamel pins. I am extremely bookish and finish over 100 books a year (shout out to audio books) while I work. When the brush is not in hand, you can find me in the kitchen cooking up a storm and pretending I'm a chef, which is perhaps my second greatest passion in life next to illustration.
Redwing, Jack: - Jack Redwing believes in letting children get dirty, dusty, and sweaty outside. He knows that kids who love nature will probably grow up to be adults who love and care about nature.
When Jack isn't writing books about farms and forests, he's living his dream on a small farm in Vermont where he's raising four children, seven cows, two llamas, and a whole bunch of chickens.
(psssst! Jack Redwing is actually a pen name for the Cottage Door Press team who worked on this book.)
