Little Homesteader

The illustrations are adorably done and it's packed with fun thing for the littles to do in the winter.

Having done many of these activities myself there's a bit of concern on the content:

‘ask for adults help' for the candy making. For process shown the child should not be helping at all, hot sugar burns are no joke. Since the child won't be much help here I don't think it should have been included. It'll be more frustrating than fun for them.

The compost bottle is a cute idea that lets your kid watch as the kitchen scraps break down, but soft plastics can make the worms sick and there's no mention of making sure it doesn't become acidic, which is especially important if they're getting citrus scraps from the recipes in this book. While it should be cute and educational it's just a torture chamber for the poor worms.
