As day breaks, and the rooster crows with a big cock-a-doodle-doo, the farm comes to life in Suzanne Tanner Chitwood's lively, joyous debut picture book, Wake Up, Big Barn! See the pigs roll in the mud, the horses run for their morning hay, the cows moo and the peacock spread his beautiful feathers. Frogs hip-hop, bebop, tractor wheels chugga-ching, cherries for yummy cherry pie fall with a ping, ping, and even the weather vane gets into the act, wiggling on a windy day. And as day ends, the old owl takes the night shift, shooby, hooby, hoo..... Ms Chitwood's rhythmic, rhyming text begs to be read aloud, and is filled with energy, wordplay, and marvelous onomatopoeic sound effects
