From Booklist
Ages 3-6. In a companion to her popular Jane Yolen's Mother Goose Songbook (1992), Yolen delivers a lively collection of 43 songs featuring animals from the farm. She introduces each selection with a brief comment about the song's origins or an interesting bit of nostalgic trivia. Stemple once again provides arrangements for both piano and guitar, and Hoffman has returned with her unusual colored-ink illustrations. A combination of the fantastic and the real, the barnyard creatures dance across pages decorated with patterned borders along top and bottom. At the beginning of each selection is a word or phrase describing the manner in which the song should be sung--"wistfully," or "jauntily," for example. Parents and teachers may find these directives helpful for building vocabulary and for teaching the importance of mood and expression in singing. Lauren Peterson
