Who Said, "Whoo"? Animal Communication

Winnie The Pooh's Thinking Spot #12

by Sheryl Berk, Adam Devaney (Illustrator)

Eeyore discovers how animals communicate.

Winnie the Pooh's Thinking Spot is a brand new series that explores the curious questions young children ask about the world around them.

Pooh and his friends wander through the Hundred-Acre Wood discovering all kinds of things such as nocturnal animals (Vol. 15 Why Aren't You Asleep?), how plants grow (Vol. 9 How Does Your Garden Grow?), and gravity (Vol. 3 Why Don't things Fall Up?). Each story incorporates simple scientific facts while examining how young children learn through listening, questioning, observing, comparing, and experimenting. And every story ends with a hands-on activity for parents and children to do together.

Animal sounds are always fun to do in children's books. When Eeyore's rest is disturbed by a mysterious "Whoo" he spends the day tracking it down and finding out the sounds other animals make along the way. A good ending makes perfect sense.

I just wish we got to hear a little "Hee haw" too.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

[Dharia Scarab · Rating 3 out of 5]

My love of reading started when i was young, and it gives me immense pleasure to provide books to Spread the Word Nevada, an organization that passes them on to children in the community. They are a terrific organization supporting an important cause. If your local I encourage you to check them out. For those living further a field, look in your own community, their may already be a similar program in place. And if not, you can always help start one.

Myself, I go out on the weekends and
shop thrift store and bulk book lots to rescue books and donate them. Sometimes I'll find a book I remember reading when I was young and will read it again before passing it on.

I don't rate these books using my normal scale, instead I give most of them three stars. This isn't a Criticism of the book, simply my way of rating them as good for children.
