The first time I read this book to my child I had to withhold laughter because of a line in it that has since been emblazened into my brain forever. After the animals realize it is Farmer Brown's birthday they each recite a verse on how they will help the farmer. The horse will pull his cart, the cow will give him milk, etc.
But when they come to the turkey, this is his verse:
"Gobble Gobble Gobble! Come Thanksgiving day, I will help Farmer Brown in my own special way!"

5.0 out of 5 stars A fun book for kids and an easy read for their parants., October 17, 1997

This review is from: The Jolly Barnyard (Little Golden Readers) (Hardcover)

The lines page after page are easily read and remembered. Although I have not read it in 11 years I can still remember it. "Said farmer Brown tralah tralee, today is my birthday lucky me" etc. This book should be in every child's collection.
