By the big red barn In the great green field, There was a pink pig Who was learning to squeal. There were horses and sheep and goats and geese -- and a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant Pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margaret Wise Brown´s simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps.

In joyous and exuberant pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margarett Wise Brown´s simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps. \"Brown´s melodic text is beguiling, while its subject´the big red barn that houses a menagerie of animals and their offspring´will have instant appeal to young children. Bond´s newly added drawings have a simplicity that suits the story [about the cycle of a day on a farm]. A welcome reprise.\" ´BL.
