The Animals of Farmer Jones

I read this book in the 1970's to my three children and now have read it to three grandchildren. It is definitely a favorite. The duct tape holding it together has worn out many times.

Fantastic book

Over 20 years ago my parents came to visit me and the children in England and brought over several books for them. One of them was, 'The Animals of Farmer Jones'. They loved it. The last time I saw it, it had a chewed corner and the pages were torn, it was well loved and very well read. Today my children are 28 and 26 and I bet if I ask them they could still recite most of the book. I'm coming to the states in a few day and will buy several copies for my friends' children.

My Favorite Book

I love this book. I am 26 years old and my favorite memory is my dad reading this to me about a million times. So many, in fact, that my copy is help together with duct tape!!! (Yes, I still have it). I give this book to my friends and family that have babies. It is a classic--and a must for any child. But, beware--if you had this book as a child, the ending has changed. The pigs no longer say "Oink, Oink"--they are too busy eating!!!! Again, a must for any household that has a small child in it!!!!

Excellent Book

My husband brought this book home from the library for our 21 month old son and he LOVED it. We have since purchased it. He will grab the book and say, "Farmer Jones- Read it". It's a great book for kids who are learning the animal sounds as they can join in while you are reading. If you are looking for great books that kids will love Richard Scarry books are the best. My son literally wore out "Cars and Trucks and Things that Go" and "Richard Scarry's The Best Word Book Ever." The pages are falling out from so much reading.

Great delight for daughter.

My 3 year old loves this book. It has been her favourite since she was 18 months old. We've read it to her so many times she can "read" it back to us.
