Pick-A-Picture - Barnyard Animals: An Interactive Learning Adventure

This interactive game-type book explores identifying barnyard animals and facts associated with those animals by immersing the child in a simple story about Farmer Daisy and her farmyard dog, Chestnut. The child accompanies the farmer on her daily chore of feeding the animals in the morning, and herself. Through a question-and-answer picture format, the child “helps” Farmer Daisy give each type of food to the correct animal. A short challenge page is located at the end of the book.
