Have I shown you my beautiful tail? Peacock asks. Isn't it the loveliest you've ever seen? Pig proclaims that his pink corkscrew is even more charming. Soon, Donkey, Dog, Cat, Horse, Rabbit―the entire farm, in fact―are admiring the magnificence of their own tails. The question on everyone's mind who has the best tail in the barnyard? And with that, the contest begins. All the animals are ready to compete, but the winner comes as a big surprise to everyone!

I really enjoyed this book. I would give it five stars, but I think it's a bit too much for younger children if you don't want them exposed to words such as stupid and phrases like, "mind your own business." There's even a bit of violence in the book, the goat attempts to kick a cat but kicks the rabbit instead and mayhem begins from there (the animals begin to fight and fur is flying everywhere). Fortunately, the animals are ashamed of their behavior at the end.

This is another humorous book that early years children love. It is a funny book with lots of references to different animals which is lovely for teaching children. I would use this book for all ages as it is funny for independent readers and a good way of introducing animal names and characteristics to younger children.

Funny story for the older kids & parents. Too long for the little kids.
