Baby Animal Farm

In a book originally published in Australia, Blair highlights a busy day at the farm, where five cheerful toddlers find plenty to see and do: “Follow the ducklings./ Quack, quack, quack./ Chase the chicks./ Cheep, cheep, cheep.” Amid all the animals and activity, a forlorn-looking puppy can be spotted in the background, but even he gets some attention before the children retire to their strollers. Delicate crayon-and-watercolor portraits and a bevy of animal noises make for a gentle, rewarding trip to the farm. Up to age 3. (Apr.)
