STOMP YOUR FEET! CLAP YOUR HANDS! EVERYBODY READY FOR A BARNYARD DANCE!

Bow to the horse. Bow to the cow. Twirl with the pig if you know how.

Bounce with the Bunny. Strut with the duck. Spin with the chickens now—CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK!

With a BAA and a MOO and a COCKADOODLEDOO, everybody promenade two by two!

Editorial Reviews

Sandra Boynton has a knack for creating baby books with bounce. Her Barnyard Dance! Is a true romp of a board book, with cartoon farm animals that are wacky enough to make you laugh out loud, and rhymes clever enough to sustain those nearly infinite rereadings: "Stand with the donkey / Slide with the sheep / Scramble with the little chicks - cheep cheep cheep!" Now, here's a woman who really knows how to use an active verb. --Parents, June 1994

Magazine Editors Parents

Funny, flocking, festivities are depicted in this bright and sturdy board book. Everybody sings along as the animals do-si-do in the barnyard. Winner of the 1994 Gold Medal from the National Parenting Publications Award.
