Review # 1 was written on 2011-03-27 00:00:00 Walter Peters This is an energetic and humorous book that introduces children to a range of farm animals and the noises they frequently make. It familiarizes children with these animals and brings the farm yard to life in a humorous manner. All is quiet on the farm until 'dog' decided to snore. This woke all the other farm animals including the cows, chickens and pigs etc. The animals decided that they needed to do something about this noise that was keeping them awake all night. The animals all decided to make their own noises into the dogs ear. However this was unsuccessful. They then decided they would sing. This also failed. However as the sun rose that morning the rooster woke up with a cock a doodle doo. Finally the dog woke up when he heard the rooster and he went off down the road to start his day fresh, after a lovely long sleep. Back at the farm yard all the rest of the animals were fast asleep as the dog kept them awake with his loud snoring all night. This is a humorous book that is ideal for nursery, reception and lower ks1 children. It is a great book to discuss animals and sounds. It is an excellent book for farm yard setting discussions and the contrast between different types of animals for example animals on the farm, in comparison to animals in the Zoo.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-05-11 00:00:00 Paul O'Keefe “Snore!” is a humorous book which is suitable for children in Nursery and Reception. It allows for children to become more familiar with different types of animals and the noises they make. It also brings the farm yard to life with a funny twist. All children will love this book. All is quiet, until dog started to snore. His snoring woke all the animals and it was then that they decided to do something about it. Each animal made their own noise into the dog’s ear. But nothing woke him! They then decided to sing, but still not a stir from the dog. When the sun rose the rooster sang a cock a doodle doo which finally woke the sleeping dog, who then started his day after a long sleep. The other animals then fell asleep after a long restless night. This book allows for the children to discuss the animals in the farm yard and their noises and compare them to pet animals or zoo animals. A story like this would be very suitable to read before a class trip to the farm. And allow the children to find the animals that were in the story. I would highly recommend this enjoyable book.
