Down on the Farm

These farm animals may grow to be large and oafish, but in the spring their fur is downy and their muzzles are fuzzy. Just the right height for petting or feeding, especially if you are a small person.

Cameran, 4, fed the sheep

While Tom, 4, and Ben, 7, tried to get its attention

For some, the miniature pony was suspiciously large

The calf was prone to slobbering

Rooting around in the grass is what piglets do best

The bunny was pretty hard to resist

Inside Aiden, 3, and Owen, 3, practiced milking the cardboard cow

And discovered the udders also doubled as squirt guns

Aimee Vandenberg and her "Farm Animals On the Go" will also stop at the Seymour branch on Wednesday, April 5, the West Leonard branch on Thursday, April 6, and the Ottawa Hills branch on Friday, April 7. Check out the schedule for times and details.

That is pretty cute. I need to go to one of the other libraries now to see it. I missed it last year, and now is my chance to see it. That milking station looks a little weird, though. ha ha.

I want a little pig someday.

I should have taken a picture of it...but one of the chickens laid and left an egg after the program. They were definitely free range.

That wooly sheep is adorable.

I like how you can see city buildings in the background of some of the pictures. It really drives home the point that farm animals are foreign to some city kids, and a chance to see them at the library is really exciting.
