Book Synopsis

Moo, meow, BAA! Kids will have a blast as they lift the flaps to learn lots of barnyard animal sounds.

Do cows sing? Do cows cuckoo? All I know is cows go . . . MOO! Simple, rhythmic, and lots of fun, this big, brightly illustrated board book will have kids happily imitating all kinds of animal "talk." For each creature--including a sheep, duck, frog, and cat--a giant "mouth" flap lifts up to reveal a new animal sound that will surely inspire a symphony of baa-ing, ribbiting, and meowing. And, at the end, children can open two barnyard gates to see and say all the animal sounds again.

Review Quotes

"Everything is simple here, and thats what makes it great. First theres a four-line rhyme: Do sheep tango? / Do sheep cha-cha? / All I know is / sheep go . . . On the next page is the graphically elemental face of a sheep. Lift the flap over its mouth and see BAA! Little ones will be just as appreciative of the duck, frog, cat, pig, and horse. The heavy pages will withstand lots of use, and even though the mouth flaps are just made of paper, they seem strong enough to withstand multiple openings and closings. Just the right look and feel for preschoolers who will add their own joyful noises." --Booklist
