5.0 out of 5 stars Son's Favorite, August 9, 2010

This review is from: Farmer Brown and His Little Red Truck (Hardcover)

This is my son's favorite book. He wants us to read it every day - and typically multiple times.

Farmer Brown is driving through his farm in his red truck and along the way, different animals decide to jump in the bed.

Starting with a pig, followed by a cow, sheep, ducks and even frogs the poor truck begins to slow down until it gets stuck in the mud.

The animals jump out and Farmer Brown makes his getaway.

Your child will sit through this book over and over as you read the repetitious story of ducks that quack, sheep clearing a space, and frogs jumping all over the place.

Cochran makes the rhyming and the cadence of the words a joy to read for any toddler.

The illustrations by Daryl Enos pop out of the page and will grab your little one's eyes until Farmer Brown drives away into the horizon.

This review is from: Farmer Brown and His Little Red Truck (Hardcover)

Take a ride with Farmer Brown in his little red truck as he picks up a group of animals along his drive down a dirt road. But watch out! A frenzied group of frogs might just join the group, causing some trouble for the little red truck and Farmer Brown.

This fun-filled crazy rhyme-time picture book takes children on an adventure they would never dream would happen to a small town farmer. With full-page illustrations by Daryl Enos, Farmer Brown's world of motley farm and country animals comes to life. But don't think that only the illustrations will keep your child entertained. Jean M. Cochran does a wonderful job of using rocking rhythm and rhyme to create the perfect read-aloud story.

Children will beg their parents to read this book over and over again--I know because my four-year-old won't give the book back to me unless I'm going to read it to her. However, once I finish and get ready to close the book, she grabs it from my hands and puts it under her pillow so mommy can't take it back.

Guess this is one book that will take some time to be donated to the local library.
