The third chapter takes readers around the farm, where they will encounter a variety of animals, from sheep, ducks, and cows, to horses, pigs, and even chickens. There are also fun hidden items like a scarecrow hiding in the hay and a rabbit huddling in the bushes.
The fourth and final chapter focuses on things seen around the home. This includes items from the kitchen and bank, the living room and hallway, the bedroom and bathroom, as well as from the garden and driveway. From hidden objects in the fridge to playful kittens behind the couch, the reader has a lot more to see in this chapter.
