Illustrated by
Nadine Bernard Westcott.
When a twister whisks Farmer Brown and his animals through the air, it lands them safely back home, but dramatically altered. "His cows oinked, / The pigs moo'd, / His sheep clucked, / The cat coo'd." Sloat's frisky verse captures all this barnyard bungle, and artist Westcott delivers cartoon watercolor animals whose humor is apparent even before the twister arrives.
