About the Book
Cows give us milk, for ice cream and cheese. But my dog gives me kisses, and tail wags ... and fleas. Welcome to the barnyard! Eighteen rollicking poems explore the lives of farm animals. From a limerick about a rooster in love with a duck to an ode to the lazy life of a cow, these comically illustrated rhymes take a humorous look at our squealing and squawking animal friends.

SUSAN PEARSON is a children’s book editor and the author of more than twenty books for children.

Squeal and Squawk


"An unusual combination of Looney Tunes-type action mixed with a deft use of line and color, Slonim’s (Moishe’s Miracle) ink and acrylic illustrations provide plenty of humor."
—Publishers Weekly

"Various denizens of the barnyard get their poetic due in this collection of eighteen poems."
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

"A fresh and funny poetic view of the overworked subject of farm animals is a tall order, but that’s exactly what Pearson delivers. From goats on the roof to flying pigs that prefer the mud to the sky, each poem presents a consistently unique perspective."
—School Library Journal
