Not my favorite choice, but it's filling a gap in my Animal Sounds selections until I can find a better Animal Sounds book for preschoolers. This one is slightly higher than toddler age, but might get boring to the preschoolers. Really the only thing I liked is what the preschoolers might enjoy--the imagined combinations of different animals.

This book is great for children to learn what sounds all of the animals make. Also, this book gives a good lesson on learning who you are and learning to love yourself. Kids sometimes have a hard time
figuring out who they are, especially the really young ones, so it is good to let them know that it is ok to be themselves and act how they want to.

Loved this for explaining why we each have different languages.

Interactive-kids can help make animal sounds throughout and guess which animal will be next based on the illustrations.

This is a really cute story and a fun way for students to learn what sound each animal makes.

One of my favorite books to use during a storytime on individuality. Great mesasge, and the kids love doing all the animal sounds too.

I read this book for the first time last year and I could not stop laughing; this has got to be one of my favorite books in the world - there's a hilarious surprise within its pages! This is a picture storybook that allows children to participate in the story by making animal sounds. It's a very fun read!

This is an older book (2000) but is a great storytime rhyming book that fits the farm theme very nicely. The rhyming is so easy that by the second time you read it, it's memorized. Probably better suited for 2-3 year olds.

There's a hilarious spread where the animals swap heads and bodies that the kids love...

I love this for storytime. It's so easy with the way it repeats, I can easily recite it from memory. The kids love to help with the moos.

Ha! I like it when animals swap heads. And kids like to make all the animal sounds.

Thanks to Owl and after to trying to get the other farm animals to moo, Cow finds out why each animal makes their own sounds. Really good book introducing familiar animals.

this book is amazing for kids to read cause it taeches animal sounds

[Slee · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun book to teach children patterns, repetition, animal noises and recognition, and to stir a conversation on what it would be like to be someone or something else.

[Amy · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is highly predictable. It talks about the different farm animals and the different noise each one makes. Each one is unique and they don't all make the same sound.

[Rose Goodwin · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a good example of "voice" and is a cumulative story, which would help emergent readers. It could be used for shared reading etc.

[Lana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really cute book. My 3 year old loved this one!

[Candace Kaelin · Rating 4 out of 5]

This story would help emergent readers by allowing them to participate in the story.
