9780140502930

Noisy Farm
Written and Illustrated by Rod Campbell

Publication date: 1994
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780140502930

Summary/Back cover:
Early in the morning the farm comes to life. Cockadoodle-doo , crows the rooster. Woof! woof! , barks Sam the dog. There are lots more noises to identify as we follow Sam around the farm. By the author of Dear Zoo.

Review:
My mum bought this book for my son when he was first born and it's still one of his favourites, and has been very loved. This book is a lift the flap book, where we follow Sam the farm dog around the farm as he finds out who is making the various noises as the day begins. As they get older your child will be excited to see their favourite animal and can join in with you to make the animal noises eg "who's making that mooing noise? it's the cow in the shed! mooooo..." etc.

I like that the book ends with "shh let's leave him to sleep". I usually whisper this part, and then settle my son into bed. It's a good to wind down at the end of a busy day.

Great book and I would recommend it for babies and toddlers. Be prepared for the flaps to get ripped off by enthusiastic children.
