Overview

""Moo, moo, brown cow! Have you any milk? ""Yes, sir, yes, sir,"" smooth as silk. Does milk make me sleepy before I go to bed? ""Yes, sir, yes, sir,"" the brown cow said."" There's something about this well-known and well-loved nursery rhyme! Clever new verses not found in the original offer charming new critters and gently teach young readers a little something along the way. In verses that mimic the original ""Baa Baa Black Sheep"" cadence, a plucky young boy asks each of the farm friends he encounters about the gifts they give us, all in preparation for a bedtime snack and a dream-filled sleep. And as the sun begins to set and the animals prepare to ""dream the whole night through of flowers to sip, grass to chew,"" the little boy asks the animals one last question. Whether read aloud or sung, this picture book can be a rollicking tale or a perfect lulling bedtime story. Author Phillis Gershator and illustrator Giselle Potter weave together melodic rhyme and folksy illustrations to transport children to a place of discovery and cozy contentment in this delectable read-aloud. ""From the Hardcover edition.""
