Visual animal association -- what has spots? What has horns? Turn the page to reveal! Font is large enough to read from a distance. Might be fun paired with What Do You Do with a Tail Like This?.
This is a good book for students who are learning to read. The words and pictures are put together beautifully. Children that have read this book with me really enjoy figuring out the animals before they actually turn the page to see the animal that is being described.

Very simple and cute book for little ones for animal association. Short and sweet to the point, so probably a good one for story time although on the older side.
A classic picture book, and a wonderful, interactive choice for toddler storytime. The book shows a part of an animal, and the children guess what it is.
One of my favorites by Nancy Tafuri...so perfect for little ones that love to guess animals. Now my 5 year can read it to the 3 year old.
This book's use of white space and large print is great for young readers developing print awareness and site words.
A sweet short about farm animals - interactive with questions like "Who has spots". Great for your tiny listeners.
Good book to provide to beginning readers because they are able to easily predict words that they may not know.
The kids could guess what animals have spots, etc. And I added the animal noises, too. Fun, short book.
Clear illustrations and a guessing game about barnyard animals? Yes please!
Another solid Tafuri, this one gives children the fun of guessing the animals.
Read alikes: I went walking,
A simple picture book with text that follows a question and answer pattern. This would be a good title for storytime, especially for the younger crowds consisting of babies and toddlers, or in a family storytime setting. The illustration facing each question page features the back half of the animal that the question refers to and serves as a visual cue if you wanted to make this an audience participation-type reading where the audience yells out their guess before you turn the page. Well done!
