Nat Chris Demarest Farmer Nat rises at dawn with the rooster's song and puts on his big farmer's hat. Kids follow him around the farm where questions are posed about the various animals. The flaps hide animals that the text describes and then kids lift the flap to see if they guessed correctly. It should be fun for little ones, especially lifting Farmer Nat's big hat in the last scene. The construction is sturdy and should hold up to repeated use.
Caregivers better know their farm animals since the flap only shows a picture and no text.

Large, colorful illustrations dominate each page to bring the simple lines of text to life. Chris L. Demarest Little Goose is lost and he is searching for his mother.
