Praise for this book

"a natural, bouncy read-aloud, particularly for preschool groups and one-on-one lap-reading interaction."--Kirkus Reviews

"The spirited but simple rhyming text showcases the varied sounds of familiar animals, and is perfect for the toddler set. Done in oils and inks, the action-packed cartoon artwork is rich, vivid, and charming. With its large-format illustrations, repeated refrain, and irresistible farmyard sounds, this book will make a great interactive read-aloud."--School Library Journal

"From sunup to sundown, this buoyant picture book introduces animals on the farm and offers opportunities for children to chime in on the chorus. . . . The bold, simplified forms are well suited to a very young audience, particularly in a group setting. . . . An amusing romp for young children."--Booklist
