Description
An exuberant rhyming board book based on a favourite children's song. Cows in the kitchen, ducks on the dresser, pigs in the pantry, hens on the hatstand, sheep on the sofa...While the farmer snoozes in the haystack, the animals are making merry in the farmhouse! Based on the rhythm and tune of the traditional "Flies in the Buttermilk", this is a picture book to be read or sung aloud with gusto! * Adapted from a traditional nonsense song this rumbustious, robust board book is perfect for reading - or singing! - aloud. * Irrepressibly vibrant and comic illustrations.
Reviews / Votes
