Synopses & Reviews
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 of this latest offering from a new Caldecott honoree jump with activity."
