From Booklist:
Drawing on childhood memories of his family’s Illinois farm, Minor celebrates farm animals— furry, feathered, hairy, and woolly—with warm watercolor-and-gouache artwork and cozy, playful rhymes that young children will love to hear many times over: “Horses eat hay / And horses say neigh / They sleep standing up / Could you / sleep that way?” Starting with the title page, depicting a kid stretching out to stroke a lamb, the art’s textures invite kids to imagine the sensations of being on a farm as well as the mischief. On the spread accompanying the poem “Billy goat / silly goat, / chews everything / Just because he’s curious . . . It might make you furious,” a goat stares back at viewers with a red paisley scarf in its mouth. Another spread informs kids that cows drink a bathtub full of water to produce milk every day, and the picture shows a cow drinking from an outdoor tub as a smiling boy takes his bath. More fun facts appear on the final spread, which includes Internet sources. Preschool-Kindergarten. --Hazel Rochman
