Visiting their grandparents' farm, two children take turns running indoors to tell their grandpa of a string of catastrophes: the cows are loose, the pigs broke the gate, the goats are stampeding. Grandpa greets each revelation with remarkable equanimity and continues to fix his breakfast. When he confides to Grandma that the kids' news bulletins are April foolery, she tells him that April Fool's Day is tomorrow, setting him up to fall for their pranks. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

What I really like are the little associations between Grandpa's calm breakfast preparations and the farm animals the kids are claiming have broken loose from their pens: when they yell "cows," he pours milk; when they scream "chickens," he fries some eggs; and so on. What a fun and sly way to sneak in educational material. ( )
