[Heather · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this whole book to all four kids tonight, in one sitting. I was surprised that my 10 and 9-yr-olds wanted to hear, but they were riveted. (I've actually found both older boys reading this on their own too!)

A lovely book to share with your kids. It's a good quality book with full size illustrations. I love these Treasury books because you can get so many stories compiled in one book, for so little money!!!

This book contains:

The Shy Little Kitten
The Boy With a Drum
The Animals of Farmer Jones
Baby Farm Animals
The Jolly Barnyard
The Fuzzy Duckling
Mrs. Mooley
A Name for Kitty
A Day on the Farm

This is an anthology of a bunch of Golden Book farm stories. My parents gave it to the boys for their second birthday. It is beautifully illustrated and I remember many of the stories from when I was growing up.

A few cute stories; I like The Animals of Farmer Jones and The Jolly Barnyard. Tess loves them all.
