About The Book

“This delightful board book doubles as an activity book, offering children a story and interactive fun.”—School Library Journal

Moo asks his best friend, Oink, to help him paint a barn, and Oink is glad to help. When Moo discovers that Oink has painted his side with polka dots, he worries because barns are supposed to be red. Oink reassures him that even though most barns are red, they don’t have to be red. Moo realizes that Oink is correct, and together they celebrate the new, colorful barn they painted together!

This delightful board book doubles as an activity book, offering children a story and interactive fun. It follows two friends, Cow and Pig, as they work together to paint a barn. The conversational text captures their teamwork: “‘Hey, Oink. I’ll start on this side. Do you want to start on the back?’/ ‘That sounds like a great plan, Moe!’” Throughout the book, labels appear on a bucket of pears, cans of paint, and even a worm, introducing new vocabulary. The final pages include a find-the-difference activity and tracing exercises, ensuring plenty of engagement for children. VERDICT With cheerful digital illustrations and opportunities for learning, this title is a supplemental purchase for most shelves.
