Using the rhythm of a famous nursery rhyme, the author relates the happenings along the farmer's route as he walks from house to barn to milk his cow. The youngest listener can "read" along simply by looking at the colorful pictures. Another gem from the author/artist of the Caldecott Honor Book Have You Seen My Duckling?. Full color.
Just right for toddlers, an appealing book in which each action propels the next, from a farmer kissing his wife, who then pats the dog, to a cat, a mouse, geese, and a donkey....There's a lot to discover and discuss in these expansive, beautifully observed illustrations.
