| From School Library Journal PreSchool-K–While this book has beautiful, full-bleed illustrations, it seems to be a pitch for Heifer® International, an organization that gives farm animals to needy families worldwide. The theme is people and animals working together. The rhyming text tells what each contributes, such as eggs from the hen, work from the mule, and harvesting from the farmer; the verses end with the singsong refrain, Giving to me, giving to you,/together there's a lot we can do. A description of the organization, a paragraph about Scholastic's Read to Feed™ program, and testimonials from two actors on Malcolm in the Middle are included. Despite the lovely paintings and the noble cause, this book is lacking an essential element–a story.–Cynde Suite, Bartow County Library System, Adairsville, GA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
