A counting and identify-the-animals-and-their-sounds book in sturdy borad book format. One by one (and two, three, four all the way to ten!) the animals on the farm wake up to the rooster's crow. Horses must be fed, cows must be milked, ducks must go off for a swim. Loudly and happily, the farm swings into a day of boisterous busyness, punctuacted by clucks and moos and neighs. Youngsters will love counting and indentifying the animals, imitating their sounds, an playing hunt and find as they locate the little mouse that travels from page to page. Never before have the myriad activities of a barnyard been duplicated with such rollicking good humor!

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Crisp watercolor vignettes against a white background create the raucous barnyard setting in Steve Lavis's Cock-A-Doodle-Doo! A Farmyard Counting Book. Starting with "One noisy rooster waking up the farm" and ending with "Ten clucking chickens roosting in the barn," this farm is noisy indeed. Animal sounds and number symbols are included on each spread.

From School Library Journal
PreS. This counting book features attractive illustrations, a simple text, an engaging little mouse peeking out from each page, and the opportunity to make lots of noise, all of which add up to a good toddler read-aloud. Lavis's cheerful pictures of friendly faced animals are much like Jill Barton's illustrations for Martin Waddell's The Pig in the Pond (Candlewick, 1992). Presented in an agreeably large and clear typeface on a white background, the text is essentially a numbered list of animals with brief references to typical activities and sounds. This straight-forward presentation is less engaging than Nancy Tafuri's Spots, Feathers, and Curly Tails (Greenwillow, 1988), Sue Williams's I Went Walking (Harcourt, 1990), or Jakki Wood's Moo Moo, Brown Cow (Harcourt, 1992). Collections with an inexhaustible need for counting and/or farm animal books will find this a serviceable addition.?Lisa Dennis, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

By A Customer
This review is from: Cock-a-Doodle-Doo: A Farmyard Counting Book (Hardcover)
My 15 month old girl and I love this book--and we have lots! The illustrations are lovely, the text clever and it's fun to look for the mouse on every page! I bet we'll be using it for years to come. Kids can learn numbers, animal names and sounds and some new words. Worth every penny and a great gift, too!
