Customer Reviews

Excellent Book - Our favorite at our house

This is the best book ever. My sister gave this to my son when he was about 2. We read it if not every day, almost every. I don't even have to read now, I just turn the pages and he tells me the story.It's such a lovely book, how it is written about a boy and his farm animals. A must have in any library.

fantastic interactive book for a young child

My two year old and I love cuddling together to read this book. Along the way we play ring around the rosy and practice counting to ten while the animals play hide and seek. We laugh and giggle as Farmer will and his 4 companions jump in the mud and run through the sprinkler. This is a fantastic book, Especially if your child loves farm animals and Loves to make animal sounds.

Farmer Will

What a fun surprise you see when young Farmer Will put on his straw hat, take his toy horse Orsey, his cow Dow, his sheep Bah and his pig Wink-Wink out to stretch! And stretch they do, into full grown animals all ready to be perfect playmates any young child would love. Complete with animal noises to sound out loud, games Will plays including Hide-and-Seek to Ring-Around-the-Rosy, and ending in a nap, this is a great "tire-'em out and then quiet-'em down" pre-nap book for toddlers. All this is perfectly complimented with beautifully illustrated soft pastel and colored pencil drawings. Enjoyable.

wonderful imagination

I fell in love with this book, as did my son. It truely captures the wonderful imagination of a child and lets adults see into their world with them! The pictures are excellent. I highly reccomend it!

A treasure for two-year-olds

I loved this book the first time I read it. The story is simple, but magical. The illustrations are beautiful. The book is similar in quality to another of my favorite children's books, "Owl Babies", (also published by Candlewick). After reading the story to my 2 year old son he immediately asked to hear it again. My 5 year old daughter also enjoyed the book, although the story is better suited for younger children.
