Farmers, families, truck drivers, and veterinarians: these are just a few of the people who live and work in a rural community. Young readers will get to know all about these people and their role in their community through this engaging, simple text. Interesting facts and full-color photos provide readers with a look at all aspects of the rural community, including what country life is like for children, how different farms work, and how neighbors in a rural community work together to help each other. A follow-up activity utilizes a graphic organizer to help readers understand the different people and jobs that are needed to get work done on a farm.
