La opinión de los lectores sobre The Farmer’s Away! Baa! Neigh!:

“This is one of my new favorite picture books! Using nothing but animal noises and wonderful illustrations the author manages to make a fantastic read aloud! Toddlers and preschool children will love The Farmer’s Away! Baa! Neigh! The lively illustrations depict these animals having the time of their lives each day as the farmer heads out to the fields. I especially loved the animals’ run for the barn that evening. The two-page spread gives readers a lot to take in; from the cow helping the pig over the fence to the dog and chicken’s way of playing to the audience directing their horrified expressions to the reader. This is just plain fun!“. From goodreads.com

“Super cute book that consists only of animal sounds, thereby inviting the reader to “read” the pictures to see what the animals get up to when the farmer is away. Lots of conversation with a grownup could happen around this book.”. From goodreads.com

“This is pretty much a wordless book (although there are animal sounds), so kids will have fun being able to tell their own stories with this one. I really liked how the animal sounds were used in the story. I would actually pair this one with B.J. Novak’s The Book With No Pictures for a storytime, as it makes adults say lots of silly words, which kids enjoy. Delightful and funny.”. From goodreads.com
