Wow, I really did not like this book. It’s basically a song with many many many repeating sound words over and over like hippitty hoppetty. This is a beginning story about a mom and dad starting a family. That is about it. It is so simple.

I don’t like the watercolors in the least. I don't like them. This book was not for me.

The children weren’t crazy about it either. The nephew did think the rhythm was funny and he liked saying it back. I guess the rhythm does build up. He isn’t into farmers so the subject didn't interest him. He gave this 2 stars. The niece agreed with me and she didn’t like this book either. She gave this 1 star. This is not too popular in our family.

Seeing a book like this, it does make me wonder why they couldn’t nominate a popular book of the day, something by P.D. Eastman that people like. This is a mystery to me.
