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.

“The love between [child and mother] is captured very effectively in Rooney’s lovely illustrations…This title is a sweet offering for story time or one on one.”

– School Library Journal (SLJ)

“The simple descriptions of a day in the country on a farm are accompanied by Ellen Rooney’s bright and cheerful illustrations. The story highlights the loving relationship between mother and child as they explore the farm together… A great book to read together. Highly Recommended.”

– CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“Children will enjoy the colourful illustrations depicting the little boy and his mother as they move through their day on the farm. This book would be an excellent addition to both home book collections and any early childhood classroom library.”
