Simple, rhythmic text full of onomatopoeia, internal rhyme, and alliteration builds excitement as the Barnyard Band preps for a performance. One barnyard animal, however, feels left out: "But what can Cow do?" asks the plaintive refrain. Ultimately, like each of the other animals, Cow has a special role to play. Bright, energetic digital illustrations with a cut-paper look extend the festive, inclusive vibe.
