The Pig Is in the Pantry, the Cat Is on the Shelf

I borrowed this book from the library because my daughter loves animals and it looked like a fun bedtime book. We weren't disappointed! I just took the book back yesterday after having it for six weeks and I think my daughter will be getting it for her birthday!This book outlines a day on a farm--the farmer goes off to town and leaves the house unlocked. Eight animals decide to make themselves at home while the farmer's cat watches disapprovingly. The biggest appeal for my daughter (almost 5) was the singsong approach a lot of the story seemed to take. She now knows it by heart and recites it all the time! The clocks placed throughout the story have taught her a lot about telling time (an added bonus). We love reading the book to her because the story just flows so well and gets both child and parent(s)giggling. This is a good wholesome book for pre-schoolers/early grade school children that would be a welcome addition to any home!
