Illustrated by
Holly Meade.
A series of brief, often funny poems catch the personalities of farm animals, from the bull to the bees; Elliott's keen observations don't always flatter the beasts. Softly tinted, spacious woodcuts on large, full-bleed pages are imbued with humor, texture, and the beauties of the natural landscape. This book will make an unusually interesting choice for farm-animal storytimes.
