K-3In the Barnyard series.
Basic information about each farm animal's physical appearance, offspring, diet, and their importance (as livestock or as companions) is supplemented with informative facts in sidebars. Although the information at times ranges from too general ("Dogs are smart and gentle") to too specific (puppies' eyes don't open "until they are nine days old"), the bright, lively photos and inviting subjects are appealing. There are four other fall 2016 books in this series. Reading list. Glos., ind. Review covers the following In the Barnyard titles: Sheep, Cows, Goats, and Dogs.
