Down by the barn, early in the morning, a farmer drives his tractor, stopping along the way to pick up a calf, then a chick, then a pig. The group of animals grows and grows until at last they reach their destination…and find a surprise. Charming illustrations and rhythmic text filled with sound words make this the perfect read-aloud for young children.
