This playful collection of poems—peppered with an astounding variety of animal sounds—is meant to be read aloud together and is an ideal collection for parents and children to share, or for a fun, interactive classroom read-aloud. Laced with humor, the poems are a delight to read aloud and cover all major classes of animals: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and even a crustacean!
