Description
In rhyming verses, one animal after another neighs, moos, oinks, quacks, and makes other appropriate sounds as each eats an apple from the farmer's tree.
Quick Summary
One by one, a bunch of farm animals line up to snack on the bright red apples hanging from a tree, and the rhyming text makes each bite sound like a playful chant that kids can join in on. The simple, bold pictures keep the focus on the counting and the goofy animal noises, so early readers get a chance to practice numbers while also getting a giggle from the moos, oinks, and quacks. It's a great pick for kids who love animals, those just starting to count, or anyone who enjoys a story that's easy to read aloud and repeat. The story is lighthearted and perfect for a quick bedtime read, with no scary moments just a delightful parade of hungry critters. If you liked this counting caper, you might also enjoy *The Napping House* for another cozy, repetitive read-aloud.
