Summary: Not Recommended
Review: Although this book does portray chores associated with farming accurately, this Barney book has the worst photography I have seen. Apparently some of the photos were taken very late in the day, by the length of the shadows, which makes the pictures light-deprived. Also, many of the photos are simply extremely dark, even those inside the barn, losing details to muddiness - certainly not a child-friendly picture book. Factually, the "cow" pictured is really a heifer, and not capable of being milked. I also think value of the phrase "Aye yie yie!" used by BJ two times is questionable; why not easily read phrases like "Wow", "Gosh", "Golly", "My Goodness", or "Jeepers"? There are many good books for preschoolers about life on a farm - this is not one of them.

Summary: Worst of the Barney books I've seen
Review: The last reviewer is absolutely right. The pictures are too dark. Vivid descriptions of the sun are given, but not even a picture of the sun. Don't even get this one at the library.
