Reviews for Irish Farm Animals
just might help keep your young children (or grandchildren) happy
The Avondhu
delightful … a beautiful book … terrific … one I highly recommend
LMFM’s Gerry Kelly show
quite a lot of information … a really lovely thing that we’re now starting to see, books that reflect rural life … an author and illustrator who are really passionate about the subject
Elaina Ryan, CEO of Children's Books Ireland
RTE Radio 1’s Sean O’Rourke show
this delightfully illustrated book tells as much about life on the farm as it does about the animals found on the farm
Irish Examiner
If you are looking for a good informative read on Irish animals and different types of farming in Ireland, look no further! Irish Farm Animals is a great non-fiction book for older children. Glyn Evans breaks down the topic of farming in Ireland into interesting parts. It taught me about all the different types of farming today, like tillage which provides food products like our cereals and ones you might not have heard of like alpaca farms which breeds them for their wool. With the help of the wonderful illustrations by Bex Sheridan, all you budding farmers who think ye know it all like me, Irish Farm Animals, even taught me stuff about animals I have myself, like my pony Sydney has a different bone and muscle structure to my horse Chase! Would you believe there are farm animals my sister Olivia and I didn’t know existed, like the Kunekune! I would give this book 10/10. Go treat yourself! By Arthur, age 8, Ballydesmond, Co. Cork.

Evening Echo
takes the reader through the different types of farms in Ireland – tillage, dairy, organic and many more – going into detail with regard to all the different types of animals farmed in Ireland. From the less exotic – cows, pigs, chickens and sheep – through to the less common buffalo and alpaca, with a special page kept for the ‘happy helpers’, dogs and cats, who have very important jobs on the farm too, from pest control to rounding up animals. A gentle introduction to farm life for young aspiring farmers
