In the children's book Farmer Johns Farm, the story line relates to school children visiting a farm in the countryside. The children engage in conversation with farmer John, who tells them all about the animals and their contributions to the farm. The students are treated to drinks and cakes by the farmer's wife, enjoy a ride on the farm tractor, and see the farm animals. The children exclaim that it has been a great day out and that they had learnt a lot about country life.
