review 1: Age: Infant-PreschoolA perfectly metered song book that depicts several baby animals climbing aboard a wagon train as their parents say goodbye. We finally find out where these babies are going when they reach their destination just as a school bus is unloading a class to play with them. A simple, yet much appreciated, all-inclusive class including a girl in a wheelchair and a boy with a high top haircut.
review 2: This nicely-illustrated picture book will entertain the kids, but I wish that Hillenbrand had put a bit more work into the rhymes, which are just clumsy enough that they may bother the parents who will have to read them aloud, as their kids request the book again and again.Sort of a sequel to "Down by the Station," where he turned an old children's s... moreong into a story about zoo animals, here the story takes place on a farm.The only down side is that the entire story consists of adding baby animals to the wagons, and only at the end does the reader learn why.Still, it is simple enough to read to young children, and cute enough that they will enjoy it. less
