I have used The Napping House by Audrey Wood for years in my classroom. Inside a Barn in the Country has the same type of appeal to primary and pre-primary aged children. The pictures are fabulous and the children love to read along making all of the animal sounds. The book lends itself to sequence activities and encourages memory of sequenced events. This is sure to be a class favorite! I highly recommend it.

I used to work at a preschool that had this book in its library. The children could not get enough of this book! It's simply charming! Very rhythmic verse and the pictures are adorable. The children loved the book so much in that class that the school's art teacher reproduced large 3D pictures of the animals in the book. They were then hung around the room in the order of the story. The children loved it! So much in fact that I purchased the book through the school's book club even though I had no children at the time, nor any intentions of starting soon.

Now, my 2 yr old adores this book! She thinks it is absolutely wonderful and while she's far from reading it yet, she can almost recite it from memory. The verse is that easy. Great book for new readers and future ones!

a very cute book. easy to read text with pictures to illustrate harder to read words. great book for beginner readers.

My 2 and 3 year olds both love this book! They really enjoy reading it with me which is made easy for them to do. Only complaint, as an adult is that it's very repetitive and a little annoying to read over and over and over...but that's just part of the job. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat because the kids really love it.

Children who are just learning to read will enjoy reading this rubus book. Rubus means that their are pictures in with the sentences. Children read words they know plus the say the name of the picture and the teacher or parent reads the other words.

This is a family favorite. Great companion to "Inside a Zoo in the City".

Inside a Barn in the Country is my kids' favorite read-a-long and my favorite to read to them. Had I had this book when I was a kid, it would have been my favorite too.
