Fun On The Farm.....

As day breaks, and the rooster crows with a big cock-a-doodle-doo, the farm comes to life in Suzanne Tanner Chitwood's lively, joyous debut picture book, Wake Up, Big Barn! See the pigs roll in the mud, the horses run for their morning hay, the cows moo and the peacock spread his beautiful feathers. Frogs hip-hop, bebop, tractor wheels chugga-ching, cherries for yummy cherry pie fall with a ping, ping, and even the weather vane gets into the act, wiggling on a windy day. And as day ends, the old owl takes the night shift, shooby, hooby, hoo..... Ms Chitwood's rhythmic, rhyming text begs to be read aloud, and is filled with energy, wordplay, and marvelous onomatopoeic sound effects. But it's her clever, bold and bright torn paper collage artwork that really makes this book a winner, and little ones will revel in each big and vibrant two page spread as they discover dazzling colors, patterns, and shapes. Perfect for preschoolers, Wake Up, Big Barn! is a captivating, fun-filled, playful romp. "Good night, Big Barn! Good night, you!"
