"Reviewed by Emily-Jane Hills Orford for Readers' Favorite ""Farmers are great."" They work long hours to grow the food that we enjoy and they raise sheep for the wool that makes our clothing. In K.C. Morcom's Farm Life, the Ted family lives on and works a farm. Sometimes things don't go so well and they struggle to make enough money to feed themselves and their livestock. When supermarkets bring in produce from cheaper sources, local farmers like the Ted family suffer from the loss of revenue. It's a hard life. But Brother Fred Ted, who lives in the city and drives race cars, has a plan to raise awareness of the plight of local farmers. By doing so, people learn that they need farmers and must support them as a community so they don't lose the source of food and wool and so much more. K.C. Morcom's picture book, Farm Life: Support Your Local Farmers, is a great teaching tool for young readers. The author uses simple language so young readers can easily follow along and improve their reading skills. The story begins with an introduction to the different members of the Ted family, including the farm dogs, and then it highlights some of the things each member enjoys about living on a farm. The plot thickens when the author introduces the difficulties the Ted family is having with the loss of revenue and community support. The climax is Brother Fred Ted's plan which brings the community together and the Ted family farm begins to prosper again. The book is carefully laid out to attract young readers' attention. Each part of the story is carefully written on the outline of a tractor and accompanied by a colorful photograph of various members of the Ted family going about their daily lives. Beautifully told and presented."
