A father and daughter feed and care for farm animals on their family
farm in this heartwarming family story perfect for bedtime
When you grow up on a farm, adventures happen all day long - even at
night! Barn at Night follows a father and a daughter as they care for
farm animals in two visits to the barn on a working farm - first, waking
early to do the routine, daily work in the pre-dawn hours, and in a
mid-night visit to the barn to help a horse who's foaling. Written in
lyrical poetry, the story shows how farmers feed and care for their
animals even in the coldest weather, in both situations that are planned
for - and for when animals need help even when humans should be
sleeping. Barn at Night features cows, barn cats, horses, and other
farm animal friends and their babies' names, for fun vocabulary building
for young readers - and it ends with the beautiful surprise arrival of a
new foal.
Illustrated in glowing watercolors, Barn at Night makes a wonderful
bedtime story that is great to share as a family.
