This comical introduction to cause and effect is ideal for emergent readers, who look for cues in simple rhymed text and bright, bold art as they take their first steps toward reading independently.

When a twister hits the pond near Farmer BrownÕs farm, some very odd things happen. The fish and frogs take flight. They land in some unlikely placesÑlike the barn and the pigsÕ troughÑsetting off an uproarious chain of events that affects the entire farm. Once the weather subsides and the farmer and his family emerge from the storm cellar, they encounter a whole new world, including some unexpected (and four-legged) tenants in their house!
