Steve Smallman is a master of the poo-filled plotline, no mean boast when you consider just how much children love the smelly brown stuff (in books anyway). We’re happily knee-deep in poo in this adventure – cows, horses, chickens, they’re all producing it and as for the sheep – they ‘pop pellets out rat-a-tat-a-tat’! Famer Jill points out it’s good for the land, but is less happy when someone plops on the top of her new hairdo. Amongst the manure, Smallman tells a proper story when the rooster ingeniously and comically foils a fox attack on the henhouse, and Florence Weisner’s illustrations give the farm animals real character. Good smelly fun! ~Andrea Reece
