The Great Irish Farm Book

Everything your child needs to know about Irish farms!\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDid you know that there are almost 2,000,000 pigs in Ireland?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAnd that sheep have rectangular pupils, which means they have amazing vision?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWould you believe only 10 per cent of the milk produced in Ireland is consumed here?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAnd that hens are pregnant for 21 days, but a horse can be pregnant for up to 345 days?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHow about the fact that despite our love of spuds, grass is Irelands top crop, covering 3,700,000 hectares, while potatoes cover only 9,000 hectares?\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nFrom the farmers day to the changing of the seasons, from animals and crops to machinery and technology, and from ancient times to the modern day, The Great Irish Farm Book will take you on a fascinating journey through life on an Irish farm.
