(2) PS Illustrated by Nina Rycroft. An impromptu parade features high-spirited farm animals and their kitchen instruments. Soon the whole barnyard is booming, bahing, and tra-la-la-ing. Rycroft's large, clean pencil and watercolor illustrations are as exuberant as Cummings's bouncy rhyming text, which, with its quick tempo, keeps the pace lively and the volume up. Grab a cup, bowl, or whatever you can find, and join the fun.
