In This Little Chick<\/strong>, little chick learns to speak various animal “languages” as she ventures forth from the farm.\u00a0 The toddlers\u00a0had fun learning to oink, moo, ribbit and baa along\u00a0with this adventurous bird.\u00a0 The story encourages\u00a0participation and teaches animal identification and sounds.\u00a0 Lots of fun!<\/p>\n

\u00a0The infants and toddlers had a great time guessing in\u00a0I Spy\u00a0on the Farm<\/strong> by Edward Gibbs.\u00a0 The illustrations are bright and beautiful, making this a hit with\u00a0the little ones.<\/p>\n

Nancy Tafuri’s This is the Farmer <\/strong>is the perfect book for infants;\u00a0the simple text and bold, realistic illustrations kept the\u00a0babies engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My Farm Friends <\/strong>by Wendell Minor worked well for the older babies (18-36 months).\u00a0 Combining colorful illustration with facts, I found this book\u00a0a joy to\u00a0read aloud, especially since my audience and I learned some interesting facts about farm animals.\u00a0\u00a0Did you know that pigs don’t sweat and can’t cool off in cold water?\u00a0 They actually roll around in mud to cool off.\u00a0 Oh…and really, they are naturally very clean (except for the mud part).<\/p>\n

\"Farm<\/a><\/p>\n

Open up the barn door, the spring goes \u201cBoink.\u201d
\nThere\u2019s a pig in the barn, saying, \u201cOink, oink, oink.\u201d
\nOpen up the barn door before the clock strikes two.
\nThere\u2019s a cow in the barn, saying, \u201cMoo, moo, moo.\u201d
\nOpen up the barn door, it\u2019s a sunny day.
\nThere\u2019s a horse in the barn, saying, \u201cNeigh, neigh, neigh.\u201d
\nOpen up the barn door, singing, \u201cTra-la-la.\u201d
\nThere\u2019s a sheep in the barn, saying, \u201cBaa, baa, baa.\u201d
\nOpen up the barn door and don\u2019t get off the track.
\nThere\u2019s a duck in the barn, saying, \u201cQuack, quack, quack.\u201d
