Customer Reviews

An excellent book for little ones

I have a two and a half year old daughter who reads this book along with me (with all the appropriate roars, honks, hisses etc) at least twice every night since I've bought the book. The storyline is simple with bright illustration and very engaging. It would appeal to any little one as they are usually fascinated with animals and love to mimic all the different sounds. I highly recommend this book to parents of young children.

A most excellent book!

We borrowed this book from the library and have had to renew it so many times we have lost count. My son, who is now 21 months old, loves to read it, and can tell you what all of the animal noises' are, so we enjoy many hours of reading it together. I expect my 4 month old daughter to enjoy it just as much when she is old enough.
