I loved this book the first time I read it. The story is simple, but magical. The illustrations are beautiful. The book is similar in quality to another of my favorite children's books, "Owl Babies", (also published by Candlewick). After reading the story to my 2 year old son he immediately asked to hear it again. My 5 year old daughter also enjoyed the book, although the story is better suited for younger children.

I fell in love with this book, as did my son. It truely captures the wonderful imagination of a child and lets adults see into their world with them! The pictures are excellent. I highly reccomend it!

This is the best book ever. My sister gave this to my son when he was about 2. We read it if not every day, almost every. I don't even have to read now, I just turn the pages and he tells me the story.

It's such a lovely book, how it is written about a boy and his farm animals. A must have in any library.

My two year old and I love cuddling together to read this book. Along the way we play ring around the rosy and practice counting to ten while the animals play hide and seek. We laugh and giggle as Farmer will and his 4 companions jump in the mud and run through the sprinkler. This is a fantastic book, Especially if your child loves farm animals and Loves to make animal sounds.

What a fun surprise you see when young Farmer Will put on his straw hat, take his toy horse Orsey, his cow Dow, his sheep Bah and his pig Wink-Wink out to stretch! And stretch they do, into full grown animals all ready to be perfect playmates any young child would love. Complete with animal noises to sound out loud, games Will plays including Hide-and-Seek to Ring-Around-the-Rosy, and ending in a nap, this is a great "tire-'em out and then quiet-'em down" pre-nap book for toddlers. All this is perfectly complimented with beautifully illustrated soft pastel and colored pencil drawings. Enjoyable.

Little boys should have this book so that their mommy's can smile big and hug them while reading the story. This is a great book. Can be given as a gift with the Fischer price farm animals to a baby boy. I started reading this book to my son at age 1. Now, at 4, it is still a heart warming favorite.

I was very please with the condition of this book. It is like new. It is a darling story about the pretend world in a little boy's mind. Adorable

What a wonderfully written book. Any child who likes farm animals will enjoy this book. My 2 year-old daughter wants me to read it again and again.

A young boys' imagination is explored in this creative and delightful picture book for preschoolers. Little Will loves to play with his toy farm animals. When he puts on a farmer's hat, he becomes "Farmer Will" - and all the toy animals become life-size and animated. Will feeds them, cavorts on the grass, and plays hide-and-seek with his friends (a horse, a cow, a sheep and a pig).

The author of "Mama Zooms" and "Baby Angels" returns with a successful follow-up, inspired by her own sons' love of toy farm animals. The gentle illustrations are done in pastels, creating a playful yet relaxed structure. The line-drawn pencils are light, not harsh, giving an extra dimension to the tender setting. Preschoolers will enjoy sounding out the animal noises. An extra treat is the nap Will takes at the end of the story, making "Farmer Will" a perfect book to read to a young one before their midday slumber.
