About a Farm

by Marc Kuhn, Lynda Mangoro (Illustrator)

Overview

BEST CHAPTER BOOK, 2013 Literary Classics International Book Awards -
Yes, you've come upon another book of charming farm stories with talking animals. But ABOUT A FARM is much more. This is a children's book that deals with many of the challenges we all face at one time or another; challenges like sacrifice, compromise, prejudice, hardship, illness and even loss of a loved one. True, these can be serious matters, but they are craftily presented here with lots of whimsy and light-heartedness. Farm animals can do that!

Editorial Reviews

"The story is well written, with an easy-to-read, conversational flow...The characters are well drawn and seem real (not too nice but suitably argumentative when needed; wonderfully caring about each other), the stories have nice, subtle lessons, as well as subtle humor. They never talk down to the reader but let him/her get the messages/humor on their own. That each story is so short is helpful, especially to today's kid readers who have shorter attention spans...A delightful, enjoyable book.

21st Annual Self-Publishing Book Awards - Judge, Writer's Digest Magazine

"Marc Kuhn employs the use of allegory in a series of short stories all taking place on a
farm. From messages great and small, his use of simple passages speaks volumes to readers
of all ages. Children will love the stories and will most definitely benefit from the deeper
meanings tucked neatly within each story..About a Farm comes highly recommended as an effective tool for teaching valuable life lessons."
