This is a beautifully illustrated easy reader that makes it fun to learn to read. The story is humorous and kids love it because they get to make a lot of animals noises (moo, honk, quack, etc.). As well, sentence structures are repeated for memory retention and to help with reading comprehension and retention. The story is cute enough that the kids like to read along and don't really equate it with 'learning'.

The story is simple - farm animals are caught up in a tornado and when it leaves, they are all talking like each other. The cow quacks, the duck moos, etc. At the end, another storm blows up and they go back to normal.

In all, it's a very cute book and a great addition to an early reading library.

This is one part of a great series of early reading books: More Spaghetti I say, Two Crazy Pigs, Fraidy Cats, and The Day the Dog Said Cock a Doodle Doo!. I recommend all of them for their appropriate vocabulary, sentence length, reinforced learning through creative repetition, and beautiful bright illustrations.
