Matt Novak Book Rockabye Christmas

Book Description

BARNYARD MAYHEM disrupts a quiet Christmas Eve in this ingenious stocking stuffer.

Farmer Ben has wrapped his presents, and all he wants is sleep. But then the ruckus begins. As each of his noisy, insomniac farm animals, from chicken, to pig, to sheep, to cow, files into the farmhouse, Farmer Ben finds he has no room left to rest his head. From the creator of the popular Too Many Bunnies and Flip Flop Bop comes another fun-filled die-cut delight, just in time for Christmas!

Rock-a-bye Christmas by Matt Novak (Too Many Bunnies) uses a series of die-cut windows to tell a wry Christmas tale. As Farmer Ben sits in his house (shown on the left half of the spread, looking out the window), one by one his animals (seen on the facing page, through the barn door) begin to make noise. Farmer Ben brings them into his house and sings to them, until eventually the press of the crowd forces him to retreat to the barn. Clever illustrated touches throughout (as the animals move into the house, their wide-eyed stares turn to expressions of glee) make for a winning package.
