OK for little ones... not for me - By: Mehajabeen Farid, 02 May 2008 
Meet Spot & his father, Sam, as they go to the farm to look for baby animals. You can learn some names of baby farm animals like, Lambs, which are baby sheep, Foals, which are baby horses & Calves, which are baby cows. But none of those little animals are at the farm: only their parents are - which baby animals are there? Find outin this great book...
Eric Hill, the author of this book, has become very well known for his `Spot' series which were startedin the early 1980's. Spot is also known as `the World's Favourite Puppy' as he is an all time favourite Pre School character & probably will forever be.
I would rate this book 7/10 although it is not very suitable for me but more appropriate for children aged 3 - 7. It has flaps to open & there is a surprise which is around half way through the book...
Good, but not as good as �Where�s Spot?� - By: maria1971, 13 Jan 2005 
Although 'Where's Spot' is my son's absolute favourite book, this did not meet with the same degree of enthusiasm.
That's not to say he doesn't like it, just not as much as 'Where's Spot?' ... maybe it's the repetitive textin that one or maybe the novelty value was worn down, but both 'Spot goes to the Farm' & 'Spot Visits his Grandparents' seem to work as a "side-dish" for him i.e. only good alongside 'Where's Spot', though does read both more often than most of his other books.
Allin all, I'd say buy this book, but with 'Where's Spot?'
Terrific interactive book for your budding youngster - By: , 09 Jun 2004 
I have bought lots of other lift the flap & board books for my toddler but this has been his favourite since he was 12 months old. He loves lifting the flaps & listening to the various attempts at animal noises I make! Good strong flaps built imaginatively into the story as parts of the scenery. More pages than most baby books which gives you both time to get really involved but not so long your child becomes bored. Also recommend buying the board book version as this has sustained quite a battering!
An appealing introduction to the delights of Spot - By: helenbirrell@mail.com, 23 Jan 2001 Eric Hill's Spot is an evergreen favourite with babies & toddlers enjoying the first pleasures of story time & rightly so. This book is an appropriate introduction to the Spot character, having all the added appeal of the different farm animals & their noises as he searches for baby animals on the farm. It also has the added dimension of teaching the older child the names of each kind of baby animal (i.e. a baby horse is a foal, & so on) so that you should get your money's worth out of this one for some time to come. The lift-up flaps are a delight to young babies from around 12 months who,in my experience, cope well with them even when the book has paper, & not board, pages asin this case. And of course the parent gets all the fun of providing the animal noises. My child loves all her Spot books but this one gets droppedin my lap over & over again!
