In large, colourful paintings and rhapsodic words, this book introduces a young girl's favourite animals, all of whom live on her farm, all of whom she loves. There's Jock, her dog; the ducks waddling to the water; the hens hopping up and down; the goat racing across the field; the donkey braying "hee-haw!"; the cow swishing her tail; the pig with all her little piglets; the pony rolling over and over; the sheep bleating to her lamb; the cat washing her kittens; the turkey strutting round the yard. The final picture shows all of the animals together with the girl and the words, "I love all the animals. I hope they love me." It's plain that they do!
