“Fun At The County Fair” by Dena Neusner, is one of the literature pieces we have enjoyed in our home for a few years. It was given to Jackson from his Great Aunt Fran on his second birthday, but all three little birds have loved the colorful illustrations.
“Fun At The County Fair” is targeted for the three to six year olds, but I feel any young age would enjoy the pictures. The county fair takes place on Merriweather Farm where a John Deere Tractor named Johnny and his friends live, work, and play. This fun book takes the reader on the journey of preparing for the fair as they create a corn maze, set up the food stands and rides, and get the other animals ready for the fair.
This book is an oversized hard back book with over fifty lift the flap interactions throughout the story. Jackson of course loves ALL of the John Deere Machines. Abigail enjoys the story of the children riding the rides and playing in the corn maze. Isabela just loves constantly lifting the flaps throughout the story.
I chose this story with this review because it went with one of our end of the summer experiences. We ventured out early one Saturday morning for something new. The savings part of me said why pay parking, entrance, and riding fees when we could go to Dollywood for free with season passes, but my fun husband said “it will be fun!” Love his enthusiasm!
A couple of the not so traditional rides at the fair and it was free! Enjoying the tractors, gators, and other farm utility vehicles set up under a pavilion.
It doesn’t really show in the photos but it is pouring down rain outside!
One of their favorites at the fair, the animals! We also enjoyed watching the young children show their calves.
Before the rain we did get one ride in. Yes, brave Abigail (with her crown) did ride one of the rides…all by herself because her brother wasn’t as flexible to something new. She liked the fact unlike at Dollywood she had to give the man five tickets to ride.
Despite the rain our morning at the county fair was a great experience.
