This is a very cute book. I like all the picture of the different animals and children saying what they say. This is a good practice book for learning animal names and sounds. Children can make each animal sound when you read each page, they can also say a certain phrase when you come to the pages

that say we speak and we say. This would be a good book for infants to kindergarten. I would love to see if this book is made in a small infant size book.

A fun story that introduces the sounds made by over twenty different animals while pointing out that there are several ways to refer to the sounds humans make: speak, say, and talk. The illustrations are simple, yet visually interesting and the text has a pleasant rhythm and rhyming pattern. This

book is one that young children will love to memorize and recite along with the reader.

This poem comes to life with dePaola's beautiful illustrations. I loved the bright colors, and I know it will attract the student's attention. For a school setting, I would read this book out loud during story time. I would have my students repeat the animal sounds that are covered in the book.

Afterwards, they can draw their own favorite animal and write what sound does that animal make.

This book was not quite what I was expecting. It's a very simple book that gives descriptions about the sounds that certain animals make. It could possible be used in lower grades during a science lesson on animals, but could not be the only source.
