Tiphanie Beeke.
When the farmyard animals need a diversion, they wander into town and discover the library. None of them can make themselves understood by the librarian--until the hen enters and clucks, "Book! Book! BOOK!" Soft, naive watercolor paintings illustrate the satisfying story, which, with its witty conclusion, will be a sure winner at story time.
