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 joyousand 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 the barnyard there are roosters and cows, horses and goats, and a pink piglet who is learning to squeal. Margaret Wise Brown´s lulling story about a day in the life of a barnyard is now available as a sturdy board book. Felicia Bond´s atmospheric illustrations add to the tranquil simplicity of this story.
