	Too Many Pears! Jackie French (2004) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Farms Humor
Request this book from the Library Pamela the cow loves pears and eats pears to the point that the family builds a fence around the pear tree. But this doesn't keep Pamela away and neither does tying her to a tree. Amy comes up with a way to solve the problem. Funny illustrations perfectly complement this fun story. Librarian review written by Mollie

	There's a Billy Goat in the Garden Laurel Dee Gugler (2003) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Farms Folklore Humor Rhyming Books
Request this book from the Library The goat in this story causes problems when he will "not come out" of the garden. One by one the animals on the farm try different ways to get the goat out. Each animal that tries is bigger than the previous animal. The text has a few repetitive phrases that are fun to say aloud. The illustrator used fabric and sewed on buttons and beads to make the pictures in this book. Librarian review written by Susan

	Silly Little Goose Nancy Tafuri (2001) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Category: Animals Birds Farms
Request this book from the Library This is a simple farm themed story about the goose in search of a nest to lay her eggs. It turns out the each place she goes to belongs to a different farm animal. There is a good diagram of a farm in this book, not just with a barn and animals, but with the other outbuildings as well. I love the simplicity of the text and the big illustrations that Nancy Tafuri uses. Librarian review written by Susan

	Thump, Quack, Moo : A Whacky Adventure Doreen Cronin (2008) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Farms Humor New Books

Though Duck is reluctant to participate at first, his enthusiasm grows as he realizes that he can contribute in his own special way. But, will Farmer Brown appreciate Duck's contributions?

	Blue Goose Nancy Tafuri (2008) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Category: Concept - Colors Early Literacy: Print Awareness Farms New Books
Request this book from the Library Farmer Gray leaves the colorful animals behind on his black and white farm. While he's away, the animals decide to make the farm a little more colorful. Yellow chick paints the flowers yellow. Red Hen paints the barn red. Soon the different animals are mixing their colors to make beautiful orange and purple. Farmer Gray returns home to his bright and colorful farm. When it is bedtime, Goose paints the sky blue for evening and they all go to bed. This is a perfect book for introducing young children to colors. Librarian review written by Gwen

	Rosie's Walk Pat Hutchins (1968) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Classics Early Literacy: Narrative Skills Farms Wordless Picture Books
Request this book from the Library This is a triumphant journey by an oblivious chicken. The fox, who is never mentioned in the text, finds all kinds of unexpected hazards in his way as he attempts to catch Rosie, and yet Rosie never realizes the danger she is in, or the lucky events that keep her safe. Children will find a satisfying challenge predicting what's next in this story. Librarian review written by Susan

	Never Say Boo to a Goose Jakki Wood (2002) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Category: Animals Farms
Request this book from the Library In this barnyard story, Mother Cat warns her kittens not to say boo to a goose. Little Tiger decides he can say boo to anyone and he does. Too bad he doesn't know a goose from all the other farmyard animals! They set him straight and he learns his lesson of why he should never say boo to a goose! The unique illustrations are made from applique fabrics with buttons and beads sewn on; they make the pictures look almost like 3-D. Librarian review written by Emilia

	Let's Go Visiting Sue Williams (1998) , 32 pages Audience: Toddlers Preschool Category: Concept - Numbers Farms Rhyming Books
Request this book from the Library This is a colorful counting book with lots of young barnyard animals that ends at the number six, not ten, so it's ideal for the youngest children. The child and animals in the story have worn themselves out playing in the mud with the piglets, cleaning up in the pond with the ducks and wandering around the farm. Librarian review written by Emilia

	Giggle, Giggle, Quack Doreen Cronin (2002) , 32 pages Audience: Preschool Primary (K-3rd grade) Category: Animals Farms Humor
Request this book from the Library Farmer Brown's irrepressible animals are out of control again. Farmer Brown goes on vacation and the duck takes over with orders for Bob, Farmer Brown's brother. This is another delightful laugh-a-minute book from the author of Click, Clack, Moo. Librarian review written by Susan
