BARN SNEEZE was fun to write and illustrate. One day I went to visit a farm. While snapping photos, I sneezed "AahCHOO!"

What do the animals sound like when they sneeze, I wondered?

And so I imagined. My story is a poem-listen to the rhyme. It begins on a night on the farm when the wind is howling. When the wind blows the barn door open, cow sneezes, "Moo-CHOO." That sets off a whole chain of animal sneezes, with some surprises as well.
