The Farmer's Away! Baa! Neigh! Summary

The Farmer's Away! Baa! Neigh! by Anne Vittur Kennedy

When you see a horse, say neigh! The animal sounds tell the story in an infectiously rhythmic picture book that's a delight to read aloud.

What mischief do the animals get up to when the farmer's back is turned? Anne Vittur Kennedy lets us know, in the animals' own words! There'll be boating, of course, and a picnic, a rollercoaster ride, a hot-air balloon, ballroom dancing... Oh, no! Could that arf! arf! arf! mean the farmer's heading back? Even the youngest listeners can read this book aloud by following along with the pictures - and making each animal's sound.

The Farmer's Away! Baa! Neigh! Reviews

Fun ... this isn't the first picture book to relate animal antics in the famer's absence but it is the first to tell the story in the animals' 'own words'. The youngest of children n can join in with making the animal sounds Nursery World Riotously silly Prima The delight of this book is all the animal sounds - no need for words - and what a wonderful book to share and read aloud. The vivacious pictures are simply wonderful - full of life and peopled by some lovely creatures dressed in all their finery. It's really unusual. I love it! and highly recommended Parents in Touch This delightfully silly story will appeal to children's sense of the ridiculous. They will love joining in to create that animal cacophony (what better way to sharpen up those sound/symbol associations than this?) as well as relishing the shared joke between them and the author. The watercolour illustrations of the rural scenes are an absolute hoot too Red Reading Hub Even the youngest listeners can read this book aloud by following along with the pictures and making each animal's sound... wonderful illustration ... hilarious rhyming text in animal sounds makes this a book not to be missed! Creative Steps A lot of fun ... wacky. The School Librarian
