Wendell Minor’s bright, bold artwork and jaunty verse celebrate the wonders of our farm friends.
Farmer Barry has chickens, hens and pheasants that he has been raising since little chicks. During their stay on Farmer Barry's farm they are always into mischief. Farmer Barry is always just a cluck away from helping his farm friends and always comes through for them, no matter what.
