Moo moo brown cow! Have you any milk? "Yes sir yes sir " smooth as silk. Does milk make me sleepy before I go to bed? "Yes sir yes sir " the brown cow said. Theres something about this well-known and well-loved nursery rhyme! Clever new verses not found in the original offer charming new critters and gently teach young readers a little something along the way. In verses that mimic the original Baa Baa Black Sheep cadence a plucky young boy asks each of the farm friends he encounters about the gifts they give us all in preparation for a bedtime snack and a dream-filled sleep. And as the sun begins to set and the animals prepare to "dream the whole night through of flowers to sip grass to chew " the little boy asks the animals one last question. Whether read aloud or sung this picture book can be a rollicking tale or a perfect lulling bedtime story. Author Phillis Gershator and illustrator Giselle Potter weave together melodic rhyme and folksy illustrations to transport children to a place of discovery and cozy contentment in this delectable read-aloud.
