[Barbara · Rating 3 out of 5]

Using tear-resistant pages, this book starts off with a black page with white letters asking what someone heard. The question is followed by a list of all the sounds that someone just heard and then an identification of what animal is making those sounds. While the book features animals commonly found on a farm, such as a cow, a pig, and geese, among others, what makes this one unique is the sounds being described. The pigs, for instance, aren't simply oinking but are also snorting, wallowing, and squealing. All this onomatopoeia is great fun for anyone to read aloud--whether they are young or old, and I liked how all the animals are gathered together at the end of the book as they drink their fill of water. This one would be a good choice for a read aloud and then one that allowed youngsters to start reading the words independently.

Cute basic rhyming book, a nice transition from board books to paper pages as the material seems extra-durable and rip-resistant.

Absolutely amazing book that will help children learn animal sounds which, of course, will help them learn phonemes, which, of course, helps them learn out to read! Highly recommended!
