PS
Silly rhymes, cheerful pictures of animal farmers, and a culminating feast make this a child-appealing rendition of an old carol. The text appears on rather formal left-hand pages with a few collage elements; full-page bucolic scenes in watercolor grace the right-hand pages; the whole is brought together with a celebratory gold border. A musical score, a map of the animals' farms, and a foreword by that master of song, John Langstaff, are included.
