By the big red barn In the great green field, There was a pink pig Who was learning to squeal. There were horses and sheep and goats and geeseand a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant Pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margaret Wise Browns simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps. There were horses and sheep and goats and geeseand a jaunty old scarecrow leaning on his hoe. And they all lived together by the big red barn. In joyous and exuberant pictures, Felicia Bond lovingly evokes Margarett Wise Browns simple, rhythmic text about the cycle of a day on a farm, where a family of animals peacefully plays and sleeps. Browns melodic text is beguiling, while its subjectthe big red barn that houses a menagerie of animals and their offspringwill have instant appeal to young children. Bonds newly added drawings have a simplicity that suits the story about the cycle of a day on a farm. A welcome reprise. BL. Childrens Books of 1989 (Library of Congress)
