Farmer Clegg’s Night Out by Peter Bently

Farmyard’s Got Talent… and Farmer Clegg is sleepwalking right into it!
When the sun goes down, the animals at Farmer Clegg’s farm put on a show like no other. From moonwalking cows and honky-tonk geese to a Mozart-singing hen, the competition is fierce. But the real twist? Farmer Clegg, fast asleep, ends up stealing the spotlight!

Written by award-winning author Peter Bently and illustrated by Jim Field (beloved for the Oi Frog! series), this laugh-out-loud rhyming romp is full of energetic verse, hilarious antics, and a big heart. Perfect for shared storytime and kids who love animals, music, and giggles.
