Noisy Farm 35th Anniversary Edition

Sam the farm dog shows the way around the farmyard, and behind every sturdy card flap waits a farm animal with its baby, ready for little voices to call out its noise. Rod Campbell, who gave us Dear Zoo, has been making books for the very young for over forty years, and his bright, bold pictures and simple words give toddlers exactly what they want: something to find, something to shout and the fun of doing it all again.

This 35th anniversary edition comes with a gold foil cover, a handsome touch for a story families have been reading aloud for three and a half decades. The chunky board pages stand up well to eager fingers. It makes a lovely first gift for a toddler, and a fond one for any parent who grew up shouting along.
