It's the same old collection of farm animals.
Little Kid Reaction
Immediately asked to read "Giggle" again. It's been months now & its still a must-read at nap and bedtimes. If we're not trying to read it ourselves, we are "Duck-ing" out loud.
Parent Reaction
A cute story, with familiar animals and just the kind of humor and mischief toddlers love.
Type of Book:
This is a humorous tale where the animals appear to run the farm and re-direct their caretaker's activities by writing notes.

Purchase Recommendation:
Borrow it first, just to see if its one you'll like. It's one of those books that could be read lots over the years, or just as easily borrowed periodically when you need a laugh.
