I adore going to the Sydney Royal Easter show. I like to see the farm animals, the dog judging and of course the wood chop!  Visiting the library of my friend at Kinderbookswitheverything I spied three terrific books about visiting a country or city agricultural show.  In Sydney we have The Royal Easter Show, in Brisbane they have the Ekka and Melbourne also have a Royal Show. Many small rural communities also have terrific events to showcase rural life and produce and these are often even better than the huge city events.

Here are three picture books to share with your family or class:

Look in your school library for other terrific books by Nan Hunt such as Whistle up the Chimney and A Rabbit named Harris (I hope to talk about this one here soon if I can find a copy somewhere).

Gwyn Perkins book A Walk in the Bush won the CBCA Picture book of the Year award in 2018.

Take a look at this review for all the story details. You could pair this book with another title by Penny Matthews and Andrew McLean - A Year on our Farm.

Two little beginning chapter books you might find in a library on this topic are Boris on Show by Andrew Joyner and Showtime by Wendy Harmer.
