The Quiet Little Farm --a wondrous book

The Quiet Little Farm is a charming and wonderful book. The tone, while peaceful and calming, moves the youngest reader (and his parents) along with anticipation for the awakening of the new season. The painted sepia photographs glow with great beauty.

Beautiful Little Farm

Janet Kerr's Quiet Little Farm is a beautiful and charming book. My children loved it because of its simple and classic story and I love to read it to my children (as well as my friends do)because of the book's extraordinary photography. Janet Kerr's painted photos are unique, touching, and inspiring.

The Quiet Little Farm

Janet Kerr's camera has captured a world which is almost impossible to believe still actually does exist. It is a world irresistable to imagine exploring with the tiniest of children. Turning each exquisitely colored page, virtually cries out for a toddler in the lap, to point, to laugh, to quack or oink, or to put a cheek down and get right into the image.A sure-fire "read-it-again" favorite!

Time for quiet, time for noise!

This is a wonderful book, full of real pictures of animals realized in an almost impressionistic technique that turns each hand colored photograph into a dream. Perfect for parents to read to children, seeing the baby animals with their parents going from winter to spring teaches children about the continuity of life and the seasons. The photos, taken in the Dordogne at a few different locations, show a timeless world with no trace of the modern age. The main location is an ageless red stone farm from a fairy tale. Janet has a house in the Dordogne and welcomes visitors in a bed and breakfast that is as much of a work of art as her photography. The sweetness of her life there certainly comes through loud and clear in the pages of this little gem of a book!

The Quiet Little Farm

A very beautiful little book that is as much of a joy for adults as it is fun for the children. The illustrations are dreamy, handcolored photographs of a small timeless farm of built of red stone in the eastern Dordogne. It never loses sight of the fact that it is a book for preschoolers and it has to be simple and entertaining. An instant classic!
