Big Red Barn by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrated by Felicia Bond 1991The cycles of a day on the farm are gently depicted in the rhythmic language of this story.
"The sheep and the donkey,
The geese and the goats,
Were making funny noises
Down in their throats."
Children will enjoy how each adult barn animal has a baby following alongside. The animals play all day long, and then retire to the barn peacefully. They trade places with the nocturnal bats and mice, as the "moon sails high in the dark night sky."
Brown, also the author of Goodnight Moon, has a wonderful ability to see the world through the eyes of a child. A simple and gentle story that will appeal to young children.
Appropriate for ages Baby-Preschool
