My family had this book when I was a child, and I was so excited to be able to purchase again! I now have a copy for myself and I buy this to give as gifts to the littles in my life! It's so special to me to be able to pass down one of my favorite books.
Great Children's Book with Beautiful Illustrations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This is one of our family's favorite books. We have a son and have found it difficult to find father/son stories. This one does. A father and son playing together at the end of the day talk together about the animalson the farm. Not only is it an ideal book for teaching children about animals, but it also has unusually beautiful illustrations.
Great for Bedtime - or anytime

My 2 year son loves this book. I often read it many times before bed. For me, it is the illustrations that make it so captivating. The colors are soft and pictures vivid. I love the different viewpoints of the farm. My son finds something new to point out each time we read it.
A DELIGHTFULLY GOOD READ!

AS A BEDTIME STORY, THIS CAN'T BE BEAT! MY GRAND DAUGHTER SAID WHEN SHE SAW ME PICKING OUT THIS BOOK..."NOT THAT ONE, GRANDMA,...I LIKE THE STORY BUT IT ALWAYS MAKES ME SLEEPY."
The best illustrations!

The story-line in this book is so tangible and I love reading it to my son, but the illustrations are what compelled me to write a review. I get lost in this farm and its colors at sunset and twilight. The details on the animals are incredible. It is just a beautiful book. I've memorized the story so I can study the illustrations! Makes me feel like a kid again.
The perfect bedtime story.

A sleepy little boy puts his farm animals away, asking how each one goes to sleep. His patient father explains how each animal goes to sleep. Then, father asks his son how HE goes to sleep... and puts him to bed. My 3 year old loves this book, and shows me how HE goes to sleep. Perfect ending for tucking in for the night!
