A Home in the Barn by Margaret Wise Brown and Jerry Pinkney

A group of farm animals and other creatures find A Home in the Barn (Harper, $17.99) as winter arrives in this newly-published work from Margaret Wise Brown, who punctuates gentle prose describing the animals coming together with a memorable rhyming verse repeated throughout. Calming scenes of animals at rest contrast with moments of activity (a pony jumping, a calf being born) that will pique young readers’s interest, especially in the hands of the legendary Jerry Pinkney and his detailed and engaging illustrations. This charming book will foster a sense of warmth, safety and togetherness for the entire family. Ages 3-5.
