Overall, this or other books by Sandra are well worth a borrow from the library or purchase for a gift. To me, like the Velveteen Rabbit this book was loved by children rather than a brand new copy. My favorite part of the book besides memories as a teacher singing the book like a Square Dance caller for students is this copy came with a child's scribbles. The rhyming is also very inviting because it is appealing to hear.In homage to kicking off this year's children’s book reviews for Amazon at #askmisspatience, Goodreads, and a children’s book blog being launched picked one of my all time favorite, Sandra Boynton’s Barnyard Dance.įrom one of my favorite book stores on Amazon, More than Words who help teach youth aging from the foster care system responsibility of running a business through the sale of used books mailed this copy of Barnyard Dance by Sandra Boynton as promised. The slang also helps set a tone in the book. The words used are in a slang, but I think it makes the book even more enjoyable because it is different from what they are used to reading. I also think it is a very realistic depiction of what goes on in kids’ minds. It encourages kids to use their imaginations, which I think is so important. It was a lot of fun to read, and I feel people of all ages would enjoy it! I think it encourages kids to have an imagination and use their creative thinking. I thought this book was so cute! I know as a kid I always wondered if the animals outside would throw their own party while all the people slept too, so I really enjoyed reading this book. The pictures are also really fun and inviting. I think it really captures what a kid occasionally thinks about, which makes it a fun book for children. I think it is a very cute book, and it allows kids’ imaginations and creativity to come out.

The major theme in this book is to always let your imagination run free. When daylight is near, the young boy goes back and gets in his bed. The boy goes outside to see what is happening, and he sees they are having a party in the barn! He dances with all the farm animals all night long.


Suddenly he sees the Scarecrow start to play the fiddle to round up all the animals to invite them into the barn. This book is about a young boy that is laying in his bed at night, and he begins to look outside and wonder what goes on while everyone sleeps.
