This text refers to the Hardcover edition.Today is Friday and time for my post for Perfect Picture Books. Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. However, like Click, Clack, Moo 2000 and Giggle, Giggle, Quack 2002, both S & S, this story makes a great read aloud, and fans of the series will be ecstatic to see another episode of mischief in the barnyard. Some of the sophisticated humor will go over the heads of most children, especially the witty footnotes that pepper the story. Comical watercolor illustrations provide the punch lines to many jokes within the well paced text. After the talent show, Farmer Brown suspects nothing until he hears boings coming from the barn. Fortunately, Duck steps in to save the day with a winning version of Born to Be Wild. At the talent show, the cows and sheep impress some of the judges, but lack of sleep has the pigs truly snoring when it is time to perform. How the suspicious farmer could ever confuse all this noise with routine snoring is a bit of a stretch, but the hilarious late night practice scenes inside the barn will help readers make the leap.

The cows and sheep concentrate on their singing while the pigs work on interpretive dance. Kindergarten Grade 3When Duck discovers an ad in the paper announcing a talent show at the county fair first prize, a slightly used trampoline, Farmer Brown’s animals are unstoppable.
