The Great Irish Farm Book

By Darragh McCullough & Illustrated by Sally Caulwell

Did you know that there are almost 2,000,000 pigs in Ireland? Would you believe only 10 per cent of the milk produced in Ireland is consumed here? And that hens are pregnant for 21 days, but a horse can be pregnant for up to 345 days? The Great Irish Farm Book will take you on a fascinating journey through an Irish farm.
