About This Book
Reach for this book when your household feels a bit like a circus and you want to model calm in the center of the storm. It is a perfect choice for children who struggle with frustration when things go wrong or for those who simply find humor in a bit of farmyard chaos. Through rhythmic, repetitive verse, the story follows a series of mishaps as farm animals escape into the crops, leaving the family in a tizzy. While the rest of the household reacts with high-stress and noise, Mother provides a masterclass in patience and problem-solving. It is a gentle, funny way to show children ages 3 to 6 that even when the cows are in the corn and the pigs are in the beans, a calm head can set everything right. Parents will appreciate how the rhythmic structure helps settle high energy before bedtime or after a particularly messy afternoon.
