He can't sleep at night because he's so curious. He follows music to a barn where he finds a barn party happening. The craziest part is it's animals having the party! The young boy joins in and he dances the night away with them. It's an easy book to read to children but it gets their creativity and imagination flowing. I really enjoyed reading this for many reasons. The first reason I liked this book was because of the language. The language was very relaxed and it was sort of like the book was being sung in a country accent, which goes along with the book because it is all about barn animals and a family that lives on the country side. Another reason that I liked this book was because of the plot. The main human character, was a little boy who snuck out into the barn at night. His whole family was sleeping and I was not sure if he was going to get back before dawn and I thought his parents might wake up and see that he snuck out into the barn. The book had some suspense in it, but ended happily when the boy made it back in time. There was not a main theme of this book, although it focused on the different barn animals. The barn dance was a big part of the story, which was also known as the square dance. no reviews | add a review

Listen to the night...
There's music in the air...
Beckoned by the voice, the boy sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having a barn dance in the middle of the night? (less)
