Now, to be fair, I am not really a 'theme' kinda girl. But, the kids seem to like it. So, over the last couple of months, I have tried to choose farm theme/spring theme books to read and farm themed learning toys and activities for our play corner. I'm about to clear off the shelf to swap out for more books on insects, frogs, and summer, but thought I'd share what books were in our stack. We didn't read all of the books this last month, but we read most of them. And, they are all pretty darn good!
These books are {mostly} for the 3-5 year old range, with just a couple being for K-3, and the last two being for ages 1-3.
