Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 2003. 1 v. (unpaged) : col. ill. ; 27 cm. Farmer Fred takes his work very seriously and so do his animals, until they decide they need to make the farm more fun and set out to find a way to make Farmer Fred laugh. Farmer Fred never smiled much. "Farmin" is serious business," he"d say. "Nothin" funny about corn." And so life on his farm was pretty serious. None of the animals laughed or even smiled.But everyone has to laugh sometimes, including Farmer Fed. The animals try everything to get him to smile: dancing by the light of the moon in Farmer Fred"s clothes, singing chickens, sheep disguised in sunglasses and mustaches. Nothing works and finally the animals decide to leave Serious Farm in search of a more cheerful place to chuckle and graze. Will the animals find a livelier home, and will Farmer Fred ever lighten up? 20230605.
