Summary: This onomatopoeia-filled book showcases a series of animals quoted with the wrong
sounds, presented in speech bubbles, followed by a child making an animal-related pun that gives a
clue for the next creature up. The pictures are full-page graphic illustrations of each animal’s face
with extra-large eyes. At the end of the story, the first animal – a cow – shows up again, prompting a
never-ending circle that young readers will enjoy.
Straight Talk for Librarians: Preschoolers and kindergarteners will love to guess which sounds
are coming from which animal, and will definitely find the large faces and mixed-up sounds silly.
From a cow to an owl to a lion to a kid, a large variety of animals are represented. Use this to
review animal sounds with very young children, or have them guess the next animal based on the
puns to get sligh
