Kids can quack, moo and neigh along with this riotous cumulative song. The audio CD offers two versions, both with and without vocals, so children can listen first and then sing along with all the animals.
This book features beautiful illustrations. They are bold and bright, and exactly what attracts the attention of a 4 year old boy like my son. He loves the repetition and counting in this book, and I only wish I'd found it sooner. I had to listen to the CD (that comes with the book) to understand exactly how the rhythm in the song goes. I must say, it's nicely performed and the guitar is very soothing. The tune is catchy and can also be listened to while a child "reads" along in the book. Terrific for emergent readers. I'd recommend this for ages 3 and up without reservation.
Librarians and children will love this book

This Chilian folk tale told in song format is a must have. Great for any parent, teacher, or librarian. The song on the CD matches the text in this wonderfully illustrated book. The song is funny and easy for children to sing along with. There is also counting by twos and animal relationships (cat to kitten, cow to calf). I used this in my library with 1st and 2nd grade students and they loved it! By the end of the book, everyone was swaying and singing along with the music. Moooo!
