Inside a Barn in the Country is my kids' favorite read-a-long and my favorite to read to them. Had I had this book when I was a kid, it would have been my favorite too.

Fabulous book for preschoolers!

I used to work at a preschool that had this book in its library. The children could not get enough of this book! It's simply charming! Very rhythmic verse and the pictures are adorable. The children loved the book so much in that class that the school's art teacher reproduced large 3D pictures of the animals in the book. They were then hung around the room in the order of the story. The children loved it! So much in fact that I purchased the book through the school's book club even though I had no children at the time, nor any intentions of starting soon. Now, my 2 yr old adores this book! She thinks it is absolutely wonderful and while she's far from reading it yet, she can almost recite it from memory. The verse is that easy. Great book for new readers and future ones!

My Pre-Schoolers love this book. It is a participation gem!

I have used The Napping House by Audrey Wood for years in my classroom. Inside a Barn in the Country has the same type of appeal to primary and pre-primary aged children. The pictures are fabulous and the children love to read along making all of the animal sounds. The book lends itself to sequence activities and encourages memory of sequenced events. This is sure to be a class favorite! I highly recommend it.
