Dogs, sheep, cows, and chickens are just some of the animals you can find on a farm.

Different drawing styles are presented in fun ways, so readers can draw both realistic animals and colorful cartoon counterparts. Each animal is introduced with a series of facts, presenting young artists with information about animals, so they are able to learn science concepts—such as life cycles—as they draw.
