Follow along with Nick as he does the morning chores with his dad on the ranch. Listen to what happens as he feeds the animals! Children love to join in and learn the sounds the animals make. Learn what chores a rancher does every day to keep the animals healthy and safe. These books are written and illustrated by a Montanan ranch wife who tells the story just as it happens on the ranch. Animals have their own way of talking to their caregivers and letting them know when they are excited to see them as they know it is feeding time! When Nick first goes to the barn, all of the animals are excited and happy to see them for their breakfast meal. But something magical happens as they are each fed - can you guess what it is? Delightful watercolors and soft colors keep the little ones engaged. This story is fun to act out as well! One child can "feed" the animals with candy or apples or whatever treat desired as the story goes along and the other children can make the assigned noises. They will be begging to be read to again! How many noises to do you know?
