"Carol June Franks is one of today's very best writers of books for children ages 3-10, and her latest, What Farm Boots Are For, is one of her very best. Wonderfully illustrated, What Farms Boots Are For provides children with an excellent learning experience that applies to far more than farm boots. It's a smooth, fun read that I know my granddaughters will love. They have so enjoyed, and benefited from, reading all of Carol June Franks books for children. Highly recommended, this book would make a wonderful birthday present, or a great weekend/vacation read for the important and valuable child/children in your life." --Chris
