Review

Readers can't help but shout 'Cluck, cluck, cluck' and 'Ay, ay, ay' along with the boy narrator - Inspired by a Chilean folk tale, this invitingly illustrated volume boasts a parade of 16 animals as each adds another verse to the story, along with its sound! --Publisher's Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Addicting!, August 25, 2007
By 
Dolce (Long Island, NY) - See all my reviews
I bought this book for my students who happen to have autism. They LOVE it and request it all the time. The first time I heard it I thought "Oh no, this is boring" BUT it really speeds up and has a nice melody. You will find yourself singing this in your sleep. My 20 month old daughter loves it as well. I think any young child will enjoy the melody, the pictures and the rhythm of this story.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book/CD, highly recommended !, May 10, 2007
I first saw this book in the local library, borrowed it and was so impressed with it that I immediately ordered a copy from Amazon.com. I have almost used it to death since at school. The children love the catchy folk tune and it has room for so many applications as it goes through family relationships as well as being an excellent counting book. The illustrations are top notch and the singing on the CD clear and easy to follow. As a bonus, a child could follow the story on the CD as a ding tone indicates when to turn the page. I have used it with special needs kids with great success and it would go down just as beautifully in a mainstream classroom. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great one from Barefoot Books!, February 27, 2008
I bought this book to use in speech-language therapy for special needs children. I agree with another person who wrote that she first put it in and thought it might be boring. I too had that same thought. Give this a chance! It does speed up and the kids really like it. You can use it for teaching so many different aspects of language. Barefoot Books really has some great things to offer and this is one of them!
