Betsy Lewin.
Farmer Brown's animals, led by Duck, sneak by Farmer Brown to enter the talent show at the county fair in hopes of winning first prize, a trampoline. Cronin's rhythmic text is well paced and full of humorous details. The silly story is enhanced by Lewin's energetic watercolor illustrations. This paper-over-board edition is notable for its bargain price.
