Keith Faulkner (Author), Jonathan Lambert (Illustrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 13, 2002 | Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up

One morning all the animals in the jungle wake to find that they have the wrong voices. Rooster roars like a lion, Elephant hisses like a snake, and Snake squawks like a parrot! Giraffe has never had a voice before, and he's certain that he never will. But when he stretches his neck, opens his mouth, and takes a deep breath, something loud and wonderful comes out . . . something he'll never forget.

Children will delight in imitating the unusual animal sounds found in this gleefully funny pop-up book.

I bought this book for my 4 month old son and he absolutely LOVES it! It is very colorful, not too long, and the pop-ups are really large and can almost touch his face when the book is open. He coos and smiles when we read it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Giraffe Who Cock-A-Doodle-Doo'd, February 8, 2008

This review is from: The Giraffe Who Cock-A-Doodle-Doo'd (Hardcover)

My-3-year old nephew just loves this book and has asked me to purchase him more books by the same author. He carries this book around with him and will not go to bed without having this book read to him. He is a more visual child and needs to be stimulated by the visual factor in order to sit still to actually read the book. This book does the trick. I highly recommend this book for all those active little boys.

Children love pop-up books, and adults love to read them to the littlies. Each of my children's families has one each of the books in this series. The illustrations are gloriously coloured, the text funny and fun to read aloud, and my grandchildren never tire of them. Beautiful, entertaining books create avid readers, and these books do just that.
