The animals are bored. They hear their farmer friend mutter that he needs a vacation, so they suggest that they all head to Paris. Think of all the famous places in Paris, now add farm animals dancing the can-can in the Moulin Rouge and you get the picture.
This is such a cute book. I read it to a little girl I babysit who is learning French. In this book, a farmers animals decide to go on a little trip to Paris. The farmer ends up following them and they all enjoy their time in Paris.
This book was a cute adventure book about a man and his farm animals who go to Paris for the day, after the cows in the museum, and the goats in the garden the man and hiss animals go home. The man and and his dog are worn out, the animals in the barn are planning the next trip.
