After writing The 7 Best Farm Books For Homesteading Children To Read Often I knew there were even more books on farm life for children I had to share with my readers!
Children love reading books on things that they relate to! That means farm children love reading about the hard work they do each day from feeding the animals to making homemade jam.
I’ve noticed that when things are relatable to children it helps them understand the world around them better. We plan to use a homeschooling curriculum that has these same relatable features. Instead of curriculum having children learn math by counting people on the street in the city, they learn to count the number of chicken eggs in the coop!
These books on farm life for children are wonderful books to have on your shelf or read aloud to your children! And don’t forget to check out the first list of books on farm life for children here.
