For Kids and Their Grown-Ups: “Outdoor Farm, Indoor Farm” by Lindsay H. Metcalf; illustrated by Xin Li
Review by Laura Frantz, collection development librarian
Friends Emma and Efrem both live on farms. In clever rhyming text, they share the differences and similarities between life on an outdoor farm and an indoor farm. The picture book showcases the science and technology used in both styles of farming. The illustrations are a pure delight as readers follow the kids and their moms throughout the farming process in each season. Back matter includes more specifics about each type of farm. This title perfectly lends itself to story times and STEM-themed curricula.
