Ka-choo! Who's sneezing? It's the cow, the chickens, the pigs, the turkeys, the donkey, and the sheep! All the farm animals have the flu, and Mom is out of town. Luckily, she has one smart son. He knows just what his mom would do, if it were he who had the flu! With tissue, tea, and lots of fun, Teresa Bateman offers a rhyming tale guaranteed to cure whatever ails you.
