Review of
Busy
Days on the Farm Paint Book
Three out of five stars
This short and
very retro coloring book depicts a boy and a girl working and playing on a
farm. The series of images has them doing chores and interacting with the
animals. There is an odd feature to most of the scenes in that the girl is
wearing a dress. Something that no farm girl does when working on the farm. The
most absurd image is when the two of them have gone to the barn to milk the cow.
I found the image of a girl in a dress milking a cow by hand in the barn quite
amusing. Furthermore, one scene has the boy out sweeping the sidewalk while
wearing shorts and a tie.
The images have
great detail, with many small sections to be filled in. Making this book a
challenge to color, requiring a great deal of dexterity and imagination to turn
the sketches into colored images. Animals are an integral part of several of
the images and they are depicted as being carefree and content.
