Big Red Barn Board Book (Board Book)

Comments about Big Red Barn Board Book (Board Book):

I never tire of reading this book with my kids. We love the animal illustrations, animal sounds and sing-songy rhymes. I definitely consider it a must-have for any board book library and I almost always include this book in baby shower gifts.

I love most of Margaret Wise Brown's books, and read them as a child myself. I am an early childhood professional and this book has been a hit with all of the children I've used it with. The story is simple, not too many words (keeps the attention of toddlers), and the pictures are cute but also accurate. I read this to the boy I care for (he just turned two) everyday before his nap, somewhere in the middle of our books (between the ones that excite him and the ones that calm him for sleep). This book has plenty of opportunities for conversation and interaction, which I don't usually have to initiate because he will. The illustrations are colorful and clear, and complement the writing well. Highly recommended!

My daughter does not like this book. She usually closes the book when I try to read it to her. Some of the animals are drawn too small and the story is not fun. She usually loves anything with animals, but this book is not her favorite! Plus the board on the book is peeling even though it has not had much use.

This book is fun to read and beautifully illustrated. It is both me and my husbands favorite to read to our daughter and she seems to enjoy it!
