Clare Beaton.
When all of the farm animals are in the wrong places, what are the farmers to do? Call them for dinner, of course. The rhythmic text begs to be shouted out loud by preschoolers, who will delight in the animals' mismatched dwellings. The illustrations, using stitched felt pieces with button or bead eyes, are richly colored and deeply textured.
