Farm animals are popular characters found in many children’s books. This picture book has lower case lettering on the cover with a yellow spotlight and microphone which sets the scene for the book. Right away the reader knows that this book is going to contain talented farm animals with humanistic characteristics. The main character is the duck who’s picture can be found on the inside of the cover sleeve and on almost every page. This book has a variety of fonts and font sizes. They each serve and important purpose. If I were to read this book out loud to my class I would have the students repeat the phrases that the animals say in their sleep. The illustrations are very general and do not have a lot of detail which focuses more attention on the story. I feel that this book shows students how animals can have personalities and outsmart humans. I would recommend this book to younger students who have imaginations and believe that animals can sing and dance, similar to the ones in the book. To incorporate this book into my classroom I would read the book and have the students put on a talent show of their own.
