“What did you do today, little pig? What did you do today? I found some mucky, muddy ground. I wallowed deep and rolled around. I made my favorite grunting sound. That’s what I did today.” An ear-pleasing picture book uses repetition, rhyme, and language choice to great effect. Set on the rural farm and land where a small, brown-skinned boy lives, each two-page spread features a different animal or insect describing its activities in a lively, lilting narrative framed around the question “What did you do today?” In some of the illustrations, the young child is seen interacting with the various creatures; in others, he is a background figure. But the book starts, and especially ends, firmly centered on the importance of the boy and his immediate world and activities. (Ages 2-4)

Today is a busy day on the farm. Pigs are wallowing. Bees are buzzing. Chicks are pecking and peeping. In the middle of it all, one happy child climbs and runs and visits his animal friends. Then there's bathing and brushing and curling up tight--and telling the golden moon, "Good night."
Celebrate the small joys of life in this cozy, lighthearted look at a day in the barnyard. Young children will delight in the activities of their favorite animals before settling down for a good night's sleep.
