Publisher's Notes
All the barnyard mothers are crooning their babies to sleep. But what is sweet music to the animals is just noise to the farmer. It isn't until his own wife sings to their baby that he is able to appreciate the beauty of a lullaby. Lively animal noises and soothing lullaby verses make this a cozy and funny bedtime book.
