|title=The Farmer's Away! Baa! Neigh!
|author=Anne Vittur Kennedy
|rating=5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Flobba dob. Eh-oh. Or should I just stop the words completely and communicate with a swanee whistle? From the Flowerpot Men to the Teletubbies via the Clangers, the substitution of ‘real’ words with made up language and sounds has always been controversial. So I’ll level with you straight away and spoil the ‘surprise’ of ''The Farmer’s Away! Baa! Neigh!'' by revealing that, bar the title, there are no proper words in this book. When this book is described as being told ''in the animals’ own words'' it means quite literally that. Barks. Hisses. Neighs. Cheeps. And lots of them. For 32 pages.
