2.5. Cute and not exactly bad, but hard for an adult to get what's going on until the very end, and even then a little vague.

First sentence: Honk. No. Splash? No. Tick-tock? No.
Premise/plot: This one stars a little bird and Bow-Wow. It is a simple story doubling as a concept book teaching sounds. (But I think that is a far, far, far stretch of an imagination.) What sound should the bird be making?
My thoughts: This is a STRANGE board book. I've appreciated the other books in the Bow-Wow series. They've been short, simple, even very-very simple. Yet they've been funny too. This one is just bizarre. Of course, I am bringing my adult perspective to it. If I was a toddler would I find the idea of a bird going tick-tock hilarious? Maybe?!
If your little one has enjoyed the other books in the series then this one might be worth it as well. But don't start with this one. It might not be the best one to try out in terms of appeal.

This colorfully illustrated book is another that teaches small people about sounds and onomatopoeia. Bow Wow is confronted with a small chick who proceeds to imitate various sounds as Bow-Wow judgily tell it No. Finally, it say PEEEP!! with enough volume to blow his ears back and he gives an approving woof.
Wife's take: Is this about the Son of Sam's dog? No, that dog told the SoS to do things, not...well, he is trying to make this chick conform, so...No, you're right. It's probably not the same dog.
Kiddo: PEEP! PEEP! PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!

This is one of the shortest books, but it is all about sounds. The words printed aren’t the sounds themselves, but this book requires the caregiver who is reading the book to the infant to make the sound that is on the book. It also has pictures that go along with the sounds in some ways. I feel like the colors could be used in a better way; they could be brighter but I still think that the colors are okay. The pictures are also repetitive; I feel like that could get old to an infant—though the book is really short.
As far as possible uses in the classroom, this could be used to help start teaching infants various sounds that they may hear around them. It could also be used to teach them animals that make various sounds or what the sounds would go to. It is also infant-proof and made for infants to be able to move the pages with their small hands. Thematically, it could be used when discussing sounds all around.

In this short board book aimed at toddlers, Bow-Wow comes across a chick. A chick who seems to be a little confused!
"Honk," the chick proclaims. And Bow-Wow quickly answers "No." And he continues to say no as the chick tries out a variety of sounds. This dog isn't going anywhere until his new friend gets it right!
Young children will love the bright illustrations, especially the cross look on Bow-Wow's face when the chick comes up with a new sound. Parents will like the sturdy board pages of the construction, and the introduction to new words and sounds.
