From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K-In this patterned picture book about imaginative play, a group of culturally diverse children visit a farm. One side of each double-page spread shows an animal while the other side shows a child imitating its actions. The line-and-wash illustrations are colorful, but appear quite stiff and static for a book that promotes movement. The simplistic cartoon style, resulting in "look-alike" children, is at odds with the attempt to show ethnic diversity. Forced and awkward rhymes mar the text: "I can be a pig/with a pink and pudgy snout/to dig the acorns out." This book could be used with young children to teach animal sounds or as a springboard to a game of "pretend." However, titles such as Lorinda Bryan Cauley's Clap Your Hands (Putnam, 1992) and Franz Brandenberg's Cock-a-Doodle-Doo (Greenwillow, 1986; o.p.) do the same thing more effectively.
