Can You Whoo, Too?
by Harriet Ziefert (Author) Sophie Fatus (Illustrator)
In farmyards, jungles, and oceans, almost every animal has something to say! Roosters cock-a-doodle-do. Can you cock-a-doodle, too? Here's a book that invites kids to make some noise. Young readers will love the interactive experience of reading about, then mimicking, animal sounds.
And as kids say honk, squawk, moo, and whoo, they'll be learning, too! Science and nature facts are featured in sidebars--why do whales sing? What does a rooster want us to know? This unique combination of language arts, science, and noisy fun is a dynamic duet with cacophonous kid-appeal.

PreS-Gr 1--An interesting blend of fiction and nonfiction that encourages young readers to make animal sounds while explaining why the animals make those sounds. Short, interactive phrases appear on traditional picture book pages ("Cows moo. How about you?"), while chatty informative text runs down a long yellow sidebar ("Cows will only moo to tell other cows that it is time to eat, to find other cows if she finds herself alone, or if she cannot see her calf."). No source notes are included. Fatus's artwork will draw in young readers; the full-page acrylic and collage illustrations are bright and inviting. VERDICT A good addition for one-on-one sharing with young readers who are always asking "why."--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
