In this book, animals work together to achieve something funny. It's good for young kids, maybe in kindergarten to 2nd grade. The story teaches about teamwork and cooperation in a simple way that kids will enjoy.

This book was fun and demonstrated how working together can allow you as a whole group to achieve something. The chicken and cows working together gave a good laugh. (

I watched the Westin Woods animated book version of this from BookFlix on the public library website. Cool!

It's really about the art of negotiation. (

A delightful introduction to organized labor and work stoppages. (
