Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Another all-time favorite by Brown masterfully and beautifully translated by Marcuse. The Spanish version maintains the rhythm and imagination that characterizes the original.

This beautiful book gently describes all the action on a farm from sunrise to sunset. It tells the story of the various animals on the farm. The illustrations are adorable and the words gentle and soothing. It is good exposure to animals and their noises. I have the Spanish, board book edition. It has withstood lots of abuse and it still one of our favorites.

4.0 out of 5 stars Un libro bueno por leyendo en voz alta, June 25, 2004

This review is from: Big Red Barn (Spanish edition): El gran granero rojo (Hardcover)

This translation is not the best one I've used but works well for younger crowds. It rhymes on some pages but not all which makes for a somewhat awkward read the first time around. With a little practice, though, the book is wonderful to use in a Spanish language storytime. The story is very simple as are the pictures so it could be used for toddler and preschool age groups. The book would also be good for those just starting to read in Spanish since many of the words are basic and the text is somewhat sparse.

Wonderful story of small but impt events going on in the barn. the different animals travelling out to the field playing with each other then back to the barn at the end of the day. a real sense of family and closeness among the farm animals.i have read this story over and over and over to my little boy
