Do Cows Meow? cover

This title is suitable for children aged up to 3 years old. Do cows sing? Do cows cuckoo? All I know is cows go MOO! Simple, rhythmic and lots of fun, this big, brightly illustrated board book will have kids happily imitating all kinds of animal talk. For each creature, including a sheep, duck, frog and cat, a giant mouth flap lifts up to reveal a new animal sound that will surely inspire a symphony of baa-ing, ribbiting and meowing. And, at the end, children can open two barnyard gates to see and say all the animal sounds again.

“Everything is simple here, and that's what makes it great. First there's a four-line rhyme: 'Do sheep tango? / Do sheep cha-cha? / All I know is / sheep go . . .' On the next page is the graphically elemental face of a sheep. Lift the flap over its mouth and see 'BAA!' Little ones will be just as appreciative of the duck, frog, cat, pig, and horse. The heavy pages will withstand lots of use, and even though the mouth flaps are just made of paper, they seem strong enough to withstand multiple openings and closings. Just the right look and feel for preschoolers who will add their own joyful noises.” --Booklist
