In this classic Little Golden Book from the illustrator of Tootle, The Little Red Caboose, and Scuffy the Tugboat, it’s Farmer Brown’s birthday, and the animals are deciding what they’ll do for him on his special day.

“Cluck! I will give him eggs,” said the hen. Said the rooster, “I’ll wake him in the mornings, then.” “Baa-aa, we’ll give him wool,” said the sheep. "For our fleece is soft and warm and deep.”
Annie North Bedford is a children’s author known for Walt Disney’s The Ugly Duckling, Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins, Little Golden Book Farm Favorites, Mickey Mouse Flies the Christmas Mail, and The Jolly Barnyard. View titles by Annie North Bedford
TIBOR GERGELY (1900-1978) brought to life two of the most popular Little Golden Book characters, beloved by generations: Scuffy the Tugboat and Tootle. Born in Budapest, Hungary, he received his formal art schooling in Vienna at age 20. Gergely designed stage sets and marionettes and worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for central European newspapers. In 1939, Gergely immigrated to the United States, settling in New York. His long association with Golden Books began in 1942—the year of its launch—and continued as long as he lived. In 1955, Gergely received a Caldecott Honor for Wheel on the Chimney, written by Margaret Wise Brown, author of Goodnight Moon. He illustrated more than seventy Golden Books, including The Great Big Fire Engine Book, The Taxi That Hurried, Daddies, The Merry Shipwreck, Seven Little Postmen, The Happy Man and His Dump Truck, Animal Orchestra, and Animal Gym.
