Irish Farm Animals
ISBN 978-1-78849-121-1
Bex Sheridan and Glyn Evans Teaching Guide By Peter Heaney RATIONALE & THEMES The authors have created a very comprehensive yet accessible tribute to the animals that are found on our farms, explaining how the cycles of the seasons support and direct their growth and development. The creatures are presented as individuals, each with their own characters and idiosyncrasies, and their roles in the cycles of farm life are identified and underlined. The farm and the creatures who live in it are presented holistically within the cycle of the seasons and the farm itself is clearly identified as a complement to our daily lives and the source of our food and many of the products on which we rely.
