Down on the Farm

Down on the farm the roosters call, the horses neigh, the chicks won't sleep, the pig snouts "oink" and the cats powwow! Merrily Kutner's lively verse and Will Hillenbrands's bouyant art will send readers zipping along the trail of one naughty little goat in a day in the life of a very busy, very noisy farmyard crew.

Merrily Kutner is the author of Z is for Zombie, which Booklist called "great for reading aloud." She wrote "Down on the Farm" for her daughter, who liked to prance around the house singing animal sounds. She encourages readers to sing out the lines of this book, too! Her home is California.

Will Hillenbrand has illustrated a wide range of picture books for children, including many he has written himself. Spring Is Here won the Please Touch Museum Book Award. Kite Day was proclaimed "a winner for story times" in a School Library Journal starred review. Off We Go! was declared "a winner all around" in a Kirkus starred review. Will lives with his wife, Jane Hillenbrand, in Ohio.
