Listen to the Farm

Six farmyard sounds sit behind six buttons in Listen to the Farm, one for each animal a toddler meets on the page. Marion Billet's artwork keeps every animal large, friendly and clearly separated from its background, with the matching button set beside it. Cows, chickens, sheep and their neighbours give a young child familiar vocabulary to practise, and pressing to hear the answer turns naming into a game instead of a drill. The board pages are thick, the corners rounded, and the whole object is built for someone still working out how much force a page needs. It belongs to the same Nosy Crow sound-book series as its companion titles. Things that stand out: • Six sound buttons, one for each farm animal shown • Large, clearly outlined animals set against plain backgrounds • Naming practice turned into a press-and-listen game • Rounded, thickened board pages made for early handling Suited to babies and toddlers learning animal names, and a safe choice as a first sound book, this Nosy Crow title can be ordered from Boipoka.
