Spend the day on the farm, caring for the animals.Calling all farmers! Put on your overalls and boots, because we are going to the farm. Readers are first introduced to a sad cow, who just wants to graze the pasture. "Swing" open the gate (flap), and the cow is happy to go. Next, readers meet hungry, unhappy hens. Lift the flap to "sprinkle some food" and see them eating away. Moving along, readers find a pony who needs some primping. Turn down the flap to "brush" its mane and ta-da! The pony's eyes are visible. Next, readers see an egg that's too cold. When readers flip the flap to turn on the heat lamp, surprise! A duckling hatches. Oh no! The goat is hungry—move the flap to "feed" it from a bottle. Time to grab the clippers and "swipe" them across the sheep's fleece. Lift the flap to see the happy, shaved sheep. Next, readers meet the pig from the cover, dismayed by the dust. Turn the flap to "twist the faucet" and make a muddy wallow. Finally, it's time to pick up the poop. "Grab a shovel" and some grossed-out laughs before flipping the flap to clean it up. Reul's expressive, funny cartoons give her animals lots of personality, and the highlighted verbs are robust additions to toddlers' vocabularies.Interactions make this simple day on the farm a fun one.
