Summary: her very favorite
Review: My 10 month old daughter loves this book. Do I need to say much more? She pays attention when I read it to her. That's saying something. And, oh, yes, she loves it when the Mooing page comes.

Summary: It's sopo-RIFFIC!
Review: This book works on so many levels. It's a simple board book for even the youngest readers, but its soothing messages about farm life will resonate well into the 2's and 3's, and maybe even into the early-reading years. We came back to this book again and again when my kids were little and it's still on the shelf... and I keep thinking, "maybe someday, I'll be lucky enough to have a little one to read it to again."

Summary: Wonderful Bedtime Story! Beautiful Book!
Review: I think Margaret Wise Brown ("Goodnight Moon") was a very talented children's story writer. She had a simple way with words that delights both children and their parents. Her smooth rhyming verses teach your child about the on-goings of a country farm. Margaret Wise Brown's use of the prose is so much fun, you'll find it fun to reread this book many times. Felicia Bond did a beautiful job illustrating.

Summary: My kids love this book!
Review: My 2 1/2-year-old twins love this book. They ask for it every night, and one of them likes to recite it. He's got the whole thing memorized. Just an excellent good-night book for this age group, right up there with Goodnight Moon.

Summary: Soothing words & Simple illustration
Review: These are the things that the little ones, like my 21 month old son, should appreciate in a book.
MWB is widely known for the books "Goodnight moon" and "The Runaway Bunny". I didn't even know about this book until I saw that my husband had picked it up at the bookstore. This book is illustrated by a different artist, Felicia Bond, and her work is sweet and uncomplicated. The story has that same rhythm and beat you follow when reading poetry, but it is also gives a peaceful feeling to it's readers(and the ones being read to).
It's a day in the life of kind of story about animals on a farm, while the children are gone. It is a perfect addition to any child's book shelf and makes for a perfect bedtime story with it's calming effect.
I highly recommend buying this for toddlers! If you already have any of Brown's other books, this one will be a welcome addition.

Summary: Another one by Margaret Wise Brown
Review: "Big Red Barn" is my son's, who is a year and a half, new favorite book.
He adored "good night, moon" which has gone amissing in our house. i didn't even know about this book, and my husband picked it up last week at the bookstore.
After reading and looking at "The Runaway Bunny", I was a little weary of Brown's books aside from "Goodnight, Moon", but this book has made me a fan once again. The illustration here is very good. It's simple and easy on the eyes of our little ones.
I love the way her books are written. She has the certain "beat" to the way the story is told. It's like reading a poem.
It is certainly a great last read of the day to help ease baby's eyes to a sleepy state.
My son loves animals, and recently has been to a farm, so this makes his love for this little story all the more enchanting.
This is good for children who love animals, and it helps them get to know those farm animals even more.
It's one of those books you have to read everyday to your child once you start reading it to them. Brown had the right prescription to help put little ones to sleep...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(night night little one)For children just starting to read, this is a perfect book to help them on their journey to be excellent readers. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ALL PARENTS OF TODDLERS AND OLDER CHILDREN! Eileen Famiglietti

Summary: A cosy read
Review: This is a sweet, gentle book that my two year old really enjoys. It's especially suitable as a bedtime book, describing as it does a day in the life of the farm animals and ending as they curl up in the barn to sleep. My only criticism is that I find it hard to settle into a rhythm when I read it. The cadence is uneven and the rhymes don't always work. I find I often end up skipping lines here and there to make it work better as a book to read aloud.

Summary: One of my favorites
Review: I don't mind reading this book again and again and again because it's one of my favorites. Margaret Wise Brown is one of my favorite authors for children. The story is gentle and soft and sweet. The illustrations are charming. The rythm that the words set is rolling and easy. This is an easy book to read over and over agin. This is a great bedtime story in my opinion. However, my son also enjoys reading it and making animal sounds. Enjoy.

Summary: You will read this over and over and over.....
Review: This book is guaranteed to be a favorite of your young child. My 3 year old son has read it about a million times, but he still loves it. The gentle rhythm of the words, the clear, easy to understand illustrations, and the simple story make this a great book for snuggling.

Summary: My son's favorite when he was a baby
Review: My son adored this book his entire first year. Eventually he began teething on it, and that destroyed it, but by then I knew it by heart anyway. The words are have a melodic, poetic flow...I think the sound of the words was very soothing to him. The pictures are terrific, and the book feels like it's taking you into the animals' secret world. It is a great book to read at bedtime because it follow the animals through a playful day then watches them retire and go to sleep. Margaret Wise Brown is great; Good Night Moon is of course her big classic. But Big Red Barn is equally good. It is hard to find modern authors with her gift for language.
