A young girl who lives on a farm is woken up every morning by her rooster. The sun is up and it is a wonderful day. She sets out to see what her animals are doing. The Puppy dog has a "Wigwagging Walk" and the Lucky Duck is flapping his feet. The day ends and then comes a new day again. "Sun's up! Sun's up!
This a wonderfully illustrated rhyming book that kids would definitely relate to.

Cute story, but just didn't work for my Tiny Tots group. Has a girl and a farm and many animals that make noises and do all sorts of things during their day on the farm.
