This book is a fantastic tool for encouraging listening skills, building vocabulary around animals and instruments, and simply sharing a moment of delightful, noisy fun with the very youngest readers.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
N/A. This book contains no sensitive topics.
Ideal Reader
The ideal reader is a toddler, age 1-3, who is just discovering the joy of making sounds and mimicking what they hear. It is also perfectly suited for babies (6-18 months) who respond to high-contrast images, rhythmic language, and interactive, tactile elements like die-cut pages. It’s for the child who thrives on call-and-response play.
Parent Prep
No preparation is needed. The book is designed for spontaneous fun. Parents should be ready to be silly and make the sounds with enthusiasm. They might want to be gentle with the final fold-out page, as it can be torn by eager little hands. A parent has noticed their child is starting to make animal noises or bang on pots and pans. They are looking for a book that isn't a quiet, sit-still story, but a fun, loud, and participatory activity to share.
