Reviews:
AudioFile: “From first moo to last quack, this recording has it all – a story that leaves the listener chuckling; understated, humorous illustrations; cheerful barnyard music and realistic sound effects; a homey narrator; and a fabulous surprise…. Any listener, regardless of age, will take something wonderful away from the experience.”

Lorgnette: “Randy Travis…is mellow and down-home…making the story sound like a New Age folk tale… very skillfully done… a favorite for story time….”

Video Librarian: “Wonderfully narrated… with toe-tappin’ music… A delightful reminder that the pen is mightier than the pitchfork, this inventive paean to literacy is enthusiastically recommended.” *** (3 Stars).

South End News, Boston: “This deceptively simple tale of reaching mutually acceptable agreement through cooperation might spark an interest that could bear fruit years later.”

School Library Journal: “…a sure hit with the story hour.”

Booklist: “…delightfully animated…. Singer Randy Travis narrates in a wonderful drawl set against background fiddle music... You couldn’t ask for a better narrator.”

ALA Notable Recordings Committee: "Background barnyard sounds and music enhance Jorge Pupo's Spanish reading....” (Spanish version)
