På bondgården är en bok fylld av roliga pyssel som kan göras om och om igen, tack vare den speciella medföljande pennan - du kan lätt torka bort bläcket om du gjort fel eller vill börja om. Det här är ett roligt sätt för yngre barn att öva upp logik och observationsförmåga. Boken innehåller många varierande pyssel - från att hitta den rätta vägen i labyrinter till att upptäcka olikheter, fylla i punkt-till-punkt-bilder och mycket mer. Följ med till bondgården och se om du kan hitta skillnaderna mellan de olika hönorna, räkna ut hur det ensamma lammet ska komma tillbaka till sina vänner och hjälpa korna att hitta sina saknade fläckar! Det här är en perfekt bok för barn som ska börja skolan för att börja öva på grundläggande färdigheter på ett lekfullt sätt. I samma serie på Känguru ingår Min första mattebok, Min första pysselbok, Min första ritbok och Semesterpyssel.
