As a former nanny and now a nursery nurse, I would highly reccommend this book to anyone who has children. It is bright,colourful,funny and very appealing to all children! Children love shouting out which animal is coming next and what noise the animal makes. Even better, at the end of the book when the farm goes to sleep, you can whisper the last two pages and this calms the children down after an active book!

My two year-old son loves animals and this book is an absolute winner. The illustrations are gorgeous and the rhymes about each animal are wonderful. He could recite them all within days - to hear him saying "I'm the rockin' rooster baby" is a scream! I think this will be a favourite for a long time to come.

Great book. My son loves the rhymes and it is great for introducing animals and their sounds. Well illustrated and not too much on the page.

I bought this as a present for my 2 year old nephew and he loves it. He loves to share it with you and when he asks for it as tonight's bedtime story, his mum doesn't read it to him, he reads it to her from memory because he knows all the words. A great book.

This book is my little boy's favourite. He is only 1, but he goes and gets the book for me to read and even tries to say Cock-a-doodle-do!!

Beautiful book
My children (2 and 4 years) love all books by this author. Perhaps it's the sing song nature of the words of this story and the beautiful illustrations. Read more

well worth a look
Our 13month old boy enjoys this book with brightly illustrated farmyard animals, and little rhymes but prefers "Commotion in the Ocean" in the same series.
