About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is experiencing their first big 'crush' on the natural world, whether they are pointing at every dog on the sidewalk or fascinated by the ducks at the park. It is the perfect tool for grounding a high-energy toddler or preschooler in a sense of calm, appreciative wonder. Through oversized, vibrant illustrations and simple, rhythmic text, Flora McDonnell introduces a variety of farm animals and the specific reasons why they are lovable. More than just a vocabulary builder, this book serves as a gentle emotional mirror for a child's own capacity for affection. It validates their big feelings of love toward creatures great and small, from the giant, gentle cows to the tiny, scurrying mice. It is an ideal choice for bedtime or a quiet lap-reading session, providing a comforting and joyful connection between the reader, the child, and the living world around them.
