Review by Booklist Review
Welcome to the family farm, where Matt and Tara, along with their children, Jack and Alice, take care of a bevy of animals. The family isn't referred to often in the text, but they ground the books in the Animals on the Family Farm series, helping children to understand how humans and animals interact on a real farm. Pigs on the Family Farm introduces big pigs (a male can weigh up to 700 pounds) and wee little piggies, which sleep piled in an adorable heap. With labeled diagrams and life cycles, a cheerful design, boldface vocabulary words, and crisp photographs, this should get young children amped up for a hands-on visit to a family farm.--Kelley, Ann Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
One family's farm is the setting for these six simple books about domestic animals. In each volume, a conversational text and colorful photos briefly cover basics: what the animal eats, where it lives (coop, pen, etc.), differences between males and females (size, coloring), care of young, and what it's raised for (eggs, cheese, meat). Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Animals on the Family Farm titles: Chickens on the Family Farm, Cows on the Family Farm, Goats on the Family Farm, Pigs on the Family Farm, Sheep on the Family Farm, and Turkeys on the Family Farm.] (c) Copyright 2013.
