Learning animal group names with a fun story

After a very long workday Farmer Bob falls asleep and tries to get some rest. Unfortunately there is an emergency and all the animals try to wake him up, but Farmer Bob wants to get his sleep. In addition to an entertaining story, the book teaches an age appropriate lesson in the various words used to describe different groups of animals. With detailed, colorful illustrations to keep the attention of young children, Herd of Cows! Flock of Sheep! is a highly recommended read.

Kids receive a subtle lesson in word play and animal names

Language play is presented in Herd of Cows! Flock of Sheep!, a fun storybook which tells of a farmer who brings in his crop before a rainstorm and then settles down for a night of calm sleep. When he faces danger, the entire barnyard tries to awaken him to trouble - but he refuses to awaken to face the danger. Kids receive a subtle lesson in word play and animal names as they enjoy the zany story of a farmer who just won't listen to reason (or noise!).
