Book Review- Sheep in the Garden and Lambing Time from Green Wellies Publishing

April 22, 2022 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

If there’s one thing that rattles farm kids is when authors sugar-coat farming for them in picture books. It seems Old McDonald has a lot to answer for. We reviewed the Farmer in Training books last year which were Shearing Day and The Show. Well, the clever and talented Anwen Nichols and her illustrator Kenneth … [Read more…]

The Magic Chair, Personalised Book-A Review

December 3, 2015 by farmerswifeandmummy Leave a Comment

We love anything personalised here. With Boo having a not-so-popular name, I grab everything I can. We have received personalised books before but, if I’m honest, the name has been the highlight. Sometimes, the stories can be disappointing. So when I was approached to review The Magic Chair, a personalised book, I really hoped it … [Read more…]
