Review

This picture book sized easy reader for the newest reader is designed for success. The theme is animals found on the farm. The various animals pictured include cat, kitten, cow, calf, dog, pup, pig, piglet, hen, and chick. The last sentence brings it back to the title. The repetitive one sentence per page begins with the phrase "I like the..." and a small picture above the sentence and a full page photo on the opposite page that correspond with the animal named in text provide clear support. The layout is uncluttered and the children pictured have various skin tones.

Overall Book Score: good
