Life On The Farm
Poems For Children
by R. A. Moorhouse


Munch, quack, hee-haw, squeak! Every animal on the farm has a voice worth hearing. From Lambie the Black Sheep to Sweet Petunia Pig, these charming poems are full of friends for curious kids and their parents. Life on the Farm features bright, rhythmic verse that makes for a fun read-aloud experience as little ones learn more about the special bond between farmers and the animals that work—and play—on a farm.


R. A. Moorhouse is a retired teaching assistant and youth worker. She spent three decades working with special needs children, most of whom lived in areas without access to farm animals. Once an aspiring veterinarian, she looks back fondly on her annual trips with kindergarten students to an experimental farm. She lives in Ottawa, where she belongs to Friends of the Farm and the Museum of Nature.
