This is fun book for kids and the best of the "Merriweather Farm" series. The build quality is first rate. I have not found a lift the flap book that has survived as well as this one. The art work is great for kids - it's bright, colorful, and the tractors all look very friendly.

If this series has a drawback it would be the writing which at best is "okay" and at worst is annoying. Of all the John Deere kids books this is the one I prefer reading: while it's not exactly engaging for an adult it's slightly lyrical and the text describes the pictures well. The joy my son get's out of it far out ways the flaws. And let me be clear on that point: my son (age 3) absolutely loves this book. Nine times out of ten this is on his bed time story list. He's committed it to memory and "reads" it me on occasion. Along the way he's actually learned to read a few words. I can't ask for much more than that.

A few people have complained that this is blatant product placement. So it is. If as an adult he's biased in favor of buying a combine from John Deere I'll know why.

I love the book. It is impossible to find flap books for little boys. This is a good one with not too many words per page. The flaps are fun and the pictures are good. It is one of his favorites.

This is one of the few books my son still loves after reading for almost a year. I first showed it to my child when he was about 6 months and he liked it right away, now he's 18 months and he likes it even better whereas many other books have fallen to the wayside. The drawings are enjoyable to both the infant and toddler group. When he was young we focused on the animals and their noises, now we are focusing on the tractors and engines, and explaining where food comes from etc. It's a great book.

These are great books for my 3 year old. He loves all the flaps and does not get tired of hearing the tractor adventures. These books are written well. A great product.

My two year old son just loves this book! The flaps and all of the bright colors and animals keep him completely entertained. I think it's a great value also. When I ordered the book I didn't realize how big was until it arrived. I would have expected to pay at least $14.99 for a book of this quality and size.

I do Day Care in my home, and have always had an abundance of little boys. I have been buying John Deere books for years, especially liking the flap ones. All my kids love them, and they learn a great deal from them also. I have one boy that is 1 1/2 years old who can finish {last word} of every sentence in 9 different John Deere books!!

Very cute book for young John Deere lovers. My son loves us reading the book to him and then he can open the little flaps.

We are slowly collecting all of the Merriweather Farm books. They are entertaining and our kids love them. Can't wait to have them all!

My son is 2 1/2 and loves this book, he wants to read it all the time.
