K-3Looking Glass Library: Barnyard Buddies series.
Illustrated by
Todd Ouren.
This series describes the daily lives of various farm animals. Each spread delivers one to three sentences and an additional one or two sentences (in smaller type) that explain the main text further; some awkwardly worded explanations and vague timelines are confusing. The bright, inviting illustrations complement the text well counterbalancing some of the more babyish aspects. Glos., ind. Review covers these Looking Glass Library: Barnyard Buddies titles: In the Cattle Yard, In the Chicken Coop, In the Horse Stall, In the Pig Pen, In the Sheep Pasture, and On the Duck Pond.
