Chris Aldrich reviewed Big red barn by Victoria Holmes
Review of 'Big red barn' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Margaret Wise Brown has certainly done better. There wasn't much plot and I generally wasn't much of a fan of the illustrations by Felicia Bond until the end. On the penultimate page about mice playing in the hay, there was a surreptitious upside down picture of Snoopy hiding on a bucket. And in one of the best parts of the book - for reasons beyond my understanding - along with the line "While the moon sailed high" Bond had a wonderful reflection of the moon in the water bin in which a small sail boat floated.
