NURSERY TIMES CRINKLY NEWSPAPER - FARM ANIMALS

A Day at the Farm — and there is a very great deal happening. The Farm Animals edition of the Nursery Times Crinkly Newspaper takes the same brilliant cloth-newspaper format as the Nursery Rhymes edition and fills it with a full day on the farm: ducks splashing in the pond, chickens in the coop, sheep grazing, pigs in the mud, a goat on the hilltop, a wise owl in the barn, a cockerel and a mouse playing chase, and the farmer himself arriving at feeding time with a bucket of freshly grown vegetables. Peck-peck, slurp, burp. Nibble, munch, crunch.

The rhyming text runs across all six pages in the same bold, mixed-typography newspaper comic-strip style — vivid colour panels packed with farmyard characters that toddlers will want to find and name on every read. The illustrations are joyful and clear: a great black horse at feeding time, fluffy white sheep with a red tractor chugging past, a magnificent black and gold cockerel chasing a small brown mouse. It is the kind of book that works equally well as a first introduction to farm animals and as a familiar favourite to return to again and again.

Like all Nursery Times editions, it is made from lightweight soft cloth with crinkly pages — a brilliant sensory experience for babies from 3 months. Completely machine washable, packed in a card envelope and designed in the UK by Jo & Nic’s. Pairs perfectly with the Nursery Times Nursery Rhymes 1 edition for a complete first library.
