This interactive board book invites curious toddlers to explore a bustling farmyard through ten sturdy lift-the-flap surprises. Little hands will delight in opening barn doors, haylofts, and coops to discover the horses, chickens, cows, and pigs hiding inside, turning each page into a mini-adventure.
