Nicola Smee's Clip-Clop is a funny story about a wacky crew of barnyard animals who love to ride on their friend, Mr. Horse. The book was named among The Best Books 2006 by Parenting Magazine and School Library Journal. The dialogue and the focus on familiar animals will make it a great title to read aloud to your little one. This is truly a joyful book that your child will love.

 

The musical cadence of the words will make your child smile since the text is more like a song. Little hands will love to hold the book and practice flipping through its sturdy cardboard pages.

 

When I read this book with my nieces, Audrey and Emily, it turned into a great afternoon. They loved all of the cute drawings of the farm animals and couldn't stop laughing at them flying through the air. When we were finished reading, I pretended to be a horse and had them climb up on me as I ran around the living room. The two of them kept yelling faster, just like the animals in the book. My sister was momentarily annoyed, but the afternoon was a lot of fun.
