In that book you don’t see much of the family that lived in the house, but you do see its slow decomposition over the years and the encroaching urbanization. Bought in 1905 with proceeds from her first book, the Tale of Peter Rabbit, she used Hill Top itself and the surrounding countryside as inspiration for many of her subsequent books.In real life learning, we’ll often be talking to a friend, reading a book, watching a movie, going about an everyday task, or experiencing a problem, when we see something that sparks our interest that we’d like to learn more about. The entire story is told without a single full stop and while I found this bothersome, perhaps it wouldn't have been so noticeable if I'd been reading it with a child at the intended pace. I don't entirely care for the text, which is one long run-on sentence that extends through the whole book.

The pictures of the children all working on the farm with their parents was also something I experienced. The exterior's simplicity also sets the tone that the house isn't too fussy or stuffy, which is carried through inside with the uncomplicated modern farmhouse decor. You don’t see the final destruction (much, I’m sure, to the chagrin of bulldozer loving kids everywhere) and that’s smart, but that still means that you leave the house in its dilapidated state. I enjoyed the story behind the story and finding out the content in Farmhouse was inspired by those who actually lived there - in the author's note at the back of the book - gave greater meaning to this charming little storybook.

Hachette Australia acknowledges and pays our respects to the past, present and future Traditional Owners and Custodians of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuation of cultural, spiritual and educational practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Farmhouse by Sophie Blackall probably owes some of its existence to Burton’s classic title, though the heart of this book isn’t walls or floors or windows but the people that lived alongside them.

The best colors are warm and cool neutrals, like cream, beige, brown, gray, white, and natural, earthy tones, like blues, greens, yellows, and dark orange.I was spending such a long time admiring the mixed media illustrations that when I turned a page and the text started mid sentence, it was disorienting. Accompanying the layered look is a lyrical story about the Swantak family and their twelve children. Two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall invites readers to peek through windows that shine like real glass on this lavish book’s cover, and explore the dollhouse-like world of a beloved farmhouse where twelve children were born and raised. And for some reason, I just found it creepy when the afterword jumps to the destruction of the run-down farmhouse and she talks of incorporating debris she scavenged from the site into the artwork of the book.

It's worth a trip to the library to sit and read it in the children's section if you don't have little ones. Isn’t it nice when someone like Sophie Blackall is able to give them a little gift, in appreciation for coming before?
