Summary/Back cover:
I went walking.
What did you see?

A child’s farmyard stroll reveals all sorts of animal friends – a black cat, a brown horse, a red cow ...

Julie Vivas’s joyous illustrations give warmth and colour to this simple rhyming story.

Review:
This is a simple story for young pre-schoolers. The text is predictable as it is the same throughout. The only difference on each page is the new animal that is discovered. Each page holds a clue (partial picture of an animal) as to which animal comes next. Both my children loved guessing which animal comes next. It could also be used to help reinforce colours. After it has been read a few times children can ‘read’ the book to themselves.

3.5/5
