Customer Reviews

Great fun to read

Mrs Brown has to leave the animals on her farm behind when she goes to town. Problem is that she is away for longer than anticipated. What will the animals do in the meantime? And what happens when Mrs Brown is back? It's a delight to find out in this great picture book in which a hilarious story is told with clever rhyming and bright watercolor illustrations. The style is very similar to other books by the same author such as "Fireman Small" and "Fireman Small - Fire Down Below".

Must have library addition

This book is the perfect children's book. I work at a preschool and have read hundreds of books over the years. This one is enchanting. The flow of the book is just right, very funny. Illustrations are a perfect match with the cadence of the story. If you want a book for your collection you must add this one

Fun to read for all ages

My girls (ages 2 and 4) and I love this book and I bought this book especially for me, as I so enjoy reading it out loud to the girls. The illustrations are perfect and keep our attention on the page.

Great Kid's Book

My 3 year old daughter absolutely loves this book. Fun plot - Mrs. Brown gets bitten by a dog, lands in the hospital, her farm animals live it up in her house while she's gone, and all eventually land in the hospital! I first bought this book when she had just turned 3. She didn't understand the plot, but she loved the rhyming words, the farm animals, the colorful and hilarious illustrations. When I first read it to her, I had to pause in some parts, because I was chuckling too much to continue. Now that she is almost 4, she understands the humor of Mrs. Brown's animals going wild when Brown lands in the hospital. I like stories that we both can read, and have a good time laughing together.

Fun rhymes - Silly Story

My three year old loves this story. Mrs. Brown lives with cow, two pigs, three ducks and a yak. When she goes to town, the animals play. The rhymes are enchanting and the illustrations made my daughter giggle. Her favorite picture is of the animals enjoying Mrs. Brown's food; the yak has doughnuts hanging on his horns. She "reads" this book repeatedly, chanting out "a cow, two pigs, three ducks and a yak."
