Never unwatchable, but I'm getting tired of suggesting that there should be more horror in these horror movies, you feel? Far superior than your average thin-metaphor-instead-of-actual-story-with-next-to-no-scares A24 wannabe clone that I'm shocked we're still seeing in 2021. The lead guy is really excellent, it's aesthetically pleasing, and those practical effects are a riot and a half... but as you can probably guess it feels the need to get into the groove of "1. long stretch of familiar story 2. quick horror tease" on endless loop. Though thankfully that story is actually half-decent, if not ultimately enough to deliver on its sensational gold mine premise. I liked a whole lot about this but it just starts to drag its feet after so long, there's only a finite amount of times I can be walked through the same "nobody believes me..." setups these all have while there's literal witches, murderous parents, and neat character premises right there which never get built upon. Admirable for what it is, and thankfully it nixes the boring, faux-intellectual pretention these films love to flaunt - but still nearly misses out on working.


(EDIT: Sat on it for a while, can't help but give it a pass - perhaps given that I didn't have high expectations for it going in? It's just way too engaging for what it is to scold it *too* much).

I found a sweet book about a little girl and a baby lamb. This story is a sweet one. Though I think mostly about compassion and how being unique and special. What will happen to this baby sheep that is born and makes a connection with a little girl?

Will Mia find a special job that will help keep her on the farm? Will Grandma sell her as she thinks. Mia seems quite attached to Nattie. The story seems to show you that small and little that they can help when they find the right job or special thing they are good at.

The pictures are done well. They are cute. The pictures are what makes me turn the pages. They seem drawn well. Mia does some special care for Nattie. You will be surprised what Nattie's special magic or talent is.

This book shows what teamwork is or can be. It doesn't always have to be two kids or two people that do the teamwork. That was seen in this book.

This book is good for those that have children that love farm animals and or animals in general. It teaches and also shows that some animals can be calming and stress relievers without being with others. What a lovely story about a little girl and a baby sheep. What a good book to pick up. Children can learn about teamwork and caring for baby animals.

I think I found a great bedtime story. It is a book about animals. It is on a farm. It is called “A Night at the Farm”. It is funny. I enjoyed it. I was laughing at the antics that the animal did while the farmer is asleep. Maybe your child is a night owl and likes to party. They enjoy farm animals and wonder what they might do while you sleep. This book is funny and unique.

The pictures are down well. Its pages look so real. The antics the animals are doing make you laugh and enjoy the story. Parents should get this for their young readers. It is good for children of four years old and to eight years old. If you are older that does not mean you will not like it.

There seems to be a party that begins once the humans go to sleep for the night. The party lasts all night long. Will the animals enjoy the fun. The farm seems unaware. Each page has some rhyming going on but you will be drawn in with the picture being so real. The animals look so real. The animals get into mischief and other trouble. What will they get into? There is something fun for everyone. If your child enjoys fashion shows. There seem to be a dance-off and I wonder what animals are on that. Children will love this bedtime story and the fun mini animals in the book.
