This story is about how farm animals get bored without the children that entertain them because of school. They decide to take a trip to the library and end up trying to check out a book. I like the message that this book sends, in the way that never doubt anyone's skill set. In this scenario, the animal that was thought of the least helpful ended up being the best help the farm animals could get. ( )

Cute story about some farm animals going to the library to get books. ( )

Animal noises in the library! A great "welcome to the library" storytime pick. ( )

Down on the farm, the animals were happy . . . until the children went back to school. The horse hung his head, the cow complained, the goat grumbled. The pig pouted, the duck dozed off, the hen heaved a sigh. Bored, the animals went into town and, seeing all the happy faces, decided the library was the place they wanted to go.

Will the animals be able to tell the librarian what they want?

This charming tale is sure to delight young readers. The watercolor and acrylic pictures are a perfect accompaniment to the laugh-out loud story that is sure to become a favorite.

Highly recommended. ( )
