An all-join-in rhyming romp of mixed-up animal sounds! This is the cat, the dog, and the mouse. Here's the old lady in the tumble-down house. She has a spell to make them all well . . . but she just can't find the right one! Whoops! In this hilariously chaotic escapade, three animals are desperate to make the right noises.Review Quotes

--Publishers Weekly Be prepared for an active and boisterous read-aloud with animal noises, movement, and a funny twist at the end.
--School Library Journal Colors pop in the stylized mixedmedia illustrations, which effectively incorporate the story's text. The book's rhythm and repetition, along with its many animal sounds, make it an ideal read-aloud.
--Booklist By the end, readers will be able to join in with the text and add the animal sounds - making the book a humorous participation selection. The simple illustrations are made with mixed media, but the main focus is on the humorous text.
--School Library Connection A hilarious rhyming story perfectly complemented with very funny illustrations and a surprise ending, "Whoops!" is certain to nudge children toward the "I Love Books and Reading" camp.
--Books to Borrow...Books to Buy (column from Kendal A. Rautzhan)
