Farmers Market Create-and-Play Activity Book

Deanna F. Cook, illus. by Alyssa Nassner. Storey, $14.95 (96p) ISBN 978-1-61212-650-0

Children with farmer on their lists of future careers will find plenty of ways to get a pretend-play head start in this spiralbound activity book, which includes punch-out pieces, stencils, stickers, and games. In four sections, Cook walks readers through how to dress like a farmer, make a play garden complete with felt produce and paper-and-pipe-cleaner flowers, and construct a farm stand to sell their make-believe wares. Photographs of children appear throughout, along with images of the in-progress and finished projects. Suggestions for field trips to real-life farms and markets are included, as are labels, shopping lists, and even business cards that let kids play to the fullest. Ages 4–up. (Oct.)
