PS
In this imaginative interpretation, a farming couple tends to their chores over nine months. The lyrics serve as a cumulative text, and mixed-media artwork tells the story. Alternating double-page spreads feature one month and one animal first in a peaceful farmyard scene, then inside the barn, where animals jam to their hearts' content. A moonlight concert celebrates what they've all been waiting for: a baby.
