5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for young children, great quality

The stories all feature the characters on Apple Tree Farm. They are simple words, but the stories are cute and interesting without any scary elements (I have one child who is very sensitive to this!). There are sweet illustrations, with a cute duck to find on every page. The narrator on the bonus CD is excellent! I expected the usual monotone reading you get with many young children's easy reads, but he has a very expressive voice, and there are even little animal noises and other background sound effects! All in all, very pleased with this book/CD. Highly recommended!

This is a very easy read. My one child did not like reading and it intimidated her to do so. Also, she could not sit through reading a whole chapter or story. What is great about this book is that there are words both above and below the pictures. My son at age 5, would read the bottom section, which is the section I would read to them. But I would let my daughter at age 5, read only the top of the pages. You can read only the top, and still understand the story! It made the stories just short enough for her not to give up. A year later, she is reading and reading and reading to the point she read 11 books last weekend! Actual chapter books! She went from tears from fear of reading (before this book), to being happy and proud to be able to read (by reading only the top of the pages of this book), to sneaking off to be alone to read chapter books a year later!
There is also a little duck hidden on EVERY page and the kids LOVE finding him over and over again! I did not have the patience to wait for them to spot the duck and trying to turn pages while I tried to read! But they love it! And every tale is about the same family, so there is a lot of repetition for the kids to read and become more and more familiar with the words (and family), without actually being too repetitive. Then there is also a bonus CD, so they can learn to better their listening skills while we run errands in the car. They fight over the book, so I keep the book at home! A must buy for story times with kids or for beginner readers. I definitely recommend this book!

I'm reviewing Usborne Phonics Readers The Complete Book of Farmyard Tales with CD (the one that contains all twenty Phonics Readers titles).

We have more than two hundred children's books but the Usborne phonics readers (and a related title: Usborne Phonics Readers Ted and Friends with CD) have been the ones that have been the most useful in helping our child learn to read. The illustrations, text and audio work together to create stories that captured our son's interest and charmed him into falling in love with these stories and ultimately the language that makes them.

The experience is multifaceted because these well crafted stories can be experienced on many levels. At the simplest level, there is a small bird waiting to be discovered on each page. The charming drawings illustrate the story even without words. A few simple words at the top of each page give a summary. A couple of sentences below enrich the detail. The excellent CD reading with interesting sound effects, brings it all alive.

I found this book/CD to be a valuable resource to help my child discover and love reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars My three-year-old grandson loves this book
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2020

"The Complete Book of Farmyard Tales" is charming and well bound. The line of the stories follows a comfortably predictable, sweet plot. Nothing here is scary. My little grandson loves to recite the standard first page. At this point, he can ask for a specific story that we can look up in the table of contents. He has mentioned how much he loves the book when he calls me on FaceTime. To be totally honest, his mom, who is asked to read this daily, is quite over how cute it is. I totally understand. At least the message in the stories is positive in every way. A three-year-old could do far worse in his obsessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality book in every way

What a great way to spend time with your child. If you prefer, you can use the CD, although my daughters only 2 and would prefer we point and identify the animals more than read the story.

High quality paper makes it perfect for little hands that can get too excited at times. This might not be as sturdy as a board book, but it's a nice runner up.

The picture's are great. Lots of different animals present on most of the pages which happens to be one of my child's favorite things to see. "Mooo" and "baaa" are frequent sounds effects as we flip through the book. Plus, there's a 'hidden' duck on each page to make a game out of "where's the ducky?". All of this as well as two ways to read the book: A short, simpler summary at the top for early readers, with a longer explanation at the bottom for 'Mums turn' or more advanced readers. Great for so many ages. We had the first book given to us, but when I realized the value, I purchased this book that has the complete works. Well worth it!!!

This is a great collection of farm stories! We have two children, ages 2 and 4, and the 2 year in particular old just adores this collection. These books are intended for early readers, but the simple and brief text also makes them just right for toddlers. I will look forward to seeing my children grow with this book. My toddlers asks for it again and again and has a few favorite stories (The Naughty Sheep and The Barn on Fire). We visit a local farm often and he likes to look for "Wooly" the sheep very enthusiastically. He also likes to act the stories out with his toy barn and animals. The stories are all sweet, and it's nice for the kids to see a female farmer. I would highly recommend this volume.

We enjoy Usborne books and stories for bedtime reading. We had a similar book and we had read all the stories multiple times so this was a nice sell for my 6 year old and us!

Libro con un lessico molto semplice e storie divertenti per imparare l'inglese. Due livelli di lettura, uno più semplice e sintetico nella parte superiore di ogni pagina e l'altro con frasi più complesse nella parte inferiore della pagina. Acquisto consigliatissimo per imparare a leggere e a capire l'inglese fin da piccoli.

Amazing book. The book has simple storylines and the illustrations are inline with the story. My 2.5 year old loves the stories and it expanded his vocabulary. The language is quite simple, and easily understood. Only problem is he doesn’t let me stop after 2-3 stories and wants to keep reading the whole book.

Este libro agrupa las historias de la granja, que ya conocía por separado. La encuadernación y el cuidado de los detalles es excelente. Lo uso en mis clases para contárselo a mis alumnos de 4 a 7 años y a todos les encanta. El detalle de encontrar el patito en todas las páginas me parece adorable.
