This was a very cute story. It was a rhyming story that shows a young boy helping with the animals when they got sick just like the way his mother would take care of him.

Summary:
This book is about a boy who lives on the farm with his mom. One moring she leaves him in charge while she goes out of town, and he hears the cow "Ka-chooooo!" She has the flu, so he does what his mom would do for him. What follows is all the animals on the farm getting the flu, and the
Personal Reaction:
I really like reading this book, and being able to do all the silly noises that go along with it. It shows how if you do something nice for someone, or in this instance some animal that they will do the same for you.
Classroom Extensions:
1. Have a discussion on how not to spread germs when sick. To cover our noses and mouths when sneezing and coughing and to wash our hands afterwards to prevent others from getting sick.
2. Talk about treating others how we would like to be treated, and the rewards from doing so.

I thought it was a cute story for young children up to about first grade. The prose is cute and the illustrations are fun. A sweet lesson on being sick, and the animals are very cute.
