In this endearing board book, mom and baby enjoy a day out on the farm, picking carrots, cuddling sheep and finally coming home for a warm bath and snuggly bedtime. Pull on your boots for a day out on the farm. Mud puddles, speckled eggs and cozy sheep's wool...It's a day in the country for mom and baby. It starts when we pull on rubber boots. Then we're ready to splash in puddles, pet the cozy sheep's wool and explore the sounds and sights of the farm. When we're all done, we go inside to hang socks to dry, take a warm bubble bath and snuggle up in bed under the stars. Meditative, simple and sweet, Country Baby gives us a fun farm adventure that is a joy to read together. Key Selling Points - First, mom and baby pull on rubber boots.
