BIG RED BARN by Margaret Wise Brown, pictures by Felicia Bond (1990… (utgåvan 1990)

There is something utterly wonderful in the simplicity of Margaret Wise Brown's farm story. Its by far my favorite of her books and I love the calm and gentle manner in which this book describes an afternoon on the farm. Good rhymes and chances to make animal sounds and count together. This book would be ok for a storytime but is absolutely terrific for reading aloud, one on one. A must for every household. ( )

Have you ever been to a real farm? Explore the livestock and take a walk around the areas of the Big Red Barn. Explore the rhymes of the words as the aminals show off their homes and sounds. ( )

This book is a good look at rhyming words without being poetical or sing-song. It is small but has nice pictures of all kinds of farm animals and lots of young. Recommend for use prior to a farm trip and possibly to show kids that animals on a real farm are actually housed by species, not all together.

Tells about a typical day on a farm. Great to read after a trip to farm to make real life connections. ( )
