Barnyard Boogie! Tim McCanna. Illustrated by Allison Black. 2017. Harry N. Abrams. 24 pages. [Source: Review copy]
First sentence: The Barnyard Band is performing today. All the musicians are ready to play! Horse brings the tuba. Oompa Doompa Doo! Goat swings the sax. Honka wonka woo! But what can Cow do? Moo?
Premise/plot: Little ones meet the Barnyard Band in Tim McCanna's bright and bouncy picture book. The animals on the farm all have something to do in the band. But what will Cow do? How does he fit in the act?
My thoughts: I liked it. As long as there are picture books being published, there will be a new crop of farm books each year. There have been other animals-form-a-band books before, this one will fit right in.
