Author Notes:Poet and award-winning author of more than thirty books for children, Jim Aylesworth was inspired to write Cock-a-doodle-doo, Creak, Pop-pop, Moo by his beloved Hickory Lawn Farm, which has been in his family since the 1840s. "There was no mill, but some of the scenes are directly from childhood memories, like that pump in the kitchen sink. I'm old enough to remember that myself. And the clock still ticks and the stairs still creak and we still have chickens." Jim Aylesworth lives in Chicago, Illinois. His website is www.ayles.com.

Brad Sneed has illustrated more than twenty books for children. Awards include a Bank Street College Best Book of the Year and a Kansas Notable Book.
