A charming and funny little book for introducing a few common farm and domestic animals and the sounds they make... with a rhino tossed in. Boynton throws a curveball with the chorus line of pigs singing "La La La!", but most young ones will enjoy identifying and correcting the proper vocalization. It's amazing how much can be expression can be communicated with simple round eyes and dotted pupils, with a line for lowered eyelids.
The large format boardbook makes it usable at a baby/toddler storyhour, or at home.
Print awareness with very large accessible text on each solid pastel-colored page. Easily memorizable short sentences and animal sounds. Older siblings may be able to work out sight words.
