Your Farm (Board)

You know how some books just settle something? YOUR FARM is that kind of book. The sun comes up. A horse arrives. Then a truck, a stool, a fence. Jon Klassen builds a farm in 24 pages with the kind of quiet confidence that makes you wonder why anyone ever thought children's books needed to be louder or busier or more. This is the third in his new trio of board books, and it is every bit as good as the other two. Restful, a little bit magical, and completely, unmistakably his.

We love it because:

• The rhythm is so gentle and so steady that children settle into it almost immediately, which makes bedtime reading feel less like a negotiation and more like a pleasure.
• Klassen's choice of details is wonderful: a horse, a truck, a stool, a fence. Nothing superfluous. Everything exactly right.
• The same sun comes up across all three books in the trio, which gives children who have YOUR ISLAND and YOUR FOREST a lovely sense of continuity and belonging.
• Those characteristic touches of Klassen whimsy are woven in quietly, easy to miss on a first read and a small delight when you spot them.
• At 24 pages it is just the right length for even the most wriggle-prone listener at the end of a long day.
