Synopsis

This farm favorite is now a board book, perfect for preschoolers.

"Cows in the pasture, moo, moo, moo. Roosters in the barnyard, cock-a-doodle-doo . . ."

It's another noisy morning on the farm, and all of the animals are where they should be -- except Goose. And where is Goose? Young children will enjoy clucking, mucking, mewing, and cooing while they search for Goose on every gorgeously illustrated spread.

Review:

"Lush colors, startled, wide-eyed animals, and bold black print make each page jump with activity." --Kirkus Reviews, pointer

"Strong rhythm and rhyme, plus fun onomatopoeic animal sounds demand reading aloud." --School Library Journal, starred review
