Review Quotes

As media tie-ins go, this is a no-brainer...the premise of the book is child friendly, incorporating actual animal calls ("Dog goes woof. / Cat goes meow./ Bird goes tweet / and Mouse goes squeak."), as well as a variety of silly noises, which will go down as a
treat during storytime.-- "Booklist"
