A Year on Our Farm

OUT OF PRINT

A Year on Our Farm

By Penny Matthews About · Illustrated by Andrew Mclean About

This beautifully illustrated book shows the passage of the seasons through the eyes of the children for whom it is home. On a small Australian farm there are jobs to do every month of the year as fruit ripens, lambs are born and hay harvested. An invaluable look at Australian farm life particularly for those children without an opportunity to have had a farm visit.
