Publisher Comments:

Duck and his friends are at it again.

This time they're pooling their considerable resources to win a local talent show, because first prize is a TRAMPOLINE.

The cows want to sing.

The sheep want to sing.

The pigs want to...dance.

Dance?

And Duck? Duck just wants to win that trampoline. But first he has three small problems:

  1. Farmer Brown
  2. Farmer Brown
  3. Farmer Brown

That remarkable, bestselling duo, Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin — who brought you Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type; Giggle, Giggle, Quack; and Duck for President — cordially invite you to the county fair, where the talent is truly wild.

Review:

"What do you get when a bunch of farm animals decide to enter a talent contest to win... a trampoline? Sounds like the latest joke at the watercooler, but it's just Cronin and Lewin (of Click, Clack, Moo fame) at it again, with an off-the-wall tale poised to deliver giggles galore. Here they reprise their bovine beauties crooning la Sinatra. But they are not the only contestants of the barnyard persuasion: the pigs practice an interpretive dance and Duck belts out his rendition of 'Born to Be Wild' in performances sure to amuse young and adult readers alike. While children will enjoy the pure silliness of singing animals alone, older readers will appreciate Cronin's tongue-in-cheek asides, such as the footnote about the trampoline being 'slightly used,' along with a legal disclaimer. Lewin's expansive brush strokes pay further tribute to this tall tale of animals that sing and dance behind closed barn doors. By story's end, the animals have returned to their regular routines, except for the extra 'boing' in their song — whose source comes clear in Lewin's closing image of the animals enjoying the well-earned prize. Fans will hope for many more farmyard adventures from this dynamic duo. Ages 3-7." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Another successful production from Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin who gave us Click, Clack, Moo: Cows that Type! Once again the not so bright farmer gets outsmarted by his animals as readers young and old laugh at their antics. The words are simple and funny and the illustrations are engrossing and delightful. Here's what everyone will be saying about this book: Whacka, whacka Boing!
