3.0 out of 5 stars lots of animals and their sounds in an older book, August 28, 2007
By

This review is from: Roar and More! (Hardcover)
Roar and more sounds that animals make will be illustrated in this children's book that might make a little animal out of your child. The book is full of rhyming poems about a variety of poems. It is easy for children to identify the animals in the illustrations but I found the brightly colored pictures a little boring. They aren't very detailed and didn't appeal to me or my son very much. The poems are a little bland as well. This seemed like a little fun with all the animals, but not exceptional for me and my toddler.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great classic!, November 3, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Roar and More! (Hardcover)
Admittedly, the illustrations are nothing to write home about, and the rhymes are pedestrian (you could say the same about "Goodnight Moon"). After a few readings, however, this became one of our family's favorites. Children love to anticipate the animal noises on the page following the simple rhymes. The font, size, and layout of the animal sound words are visual cues even a non-reader can understand. I think the concept that letters can represent sounds is effortlessly communicated in these words-as-pictures.

Too bad "Roar and More" is not available as a board book, since it's one of the best books for very young children.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the great children's picture books, January 21, 2012

This review is from: Roar and More! (Hardcover)
All three of my children loved this rhyming picture book about the noises animals make. My youngest child is almost 20, yet my wife and I still can recite this book from memory. This was the rare book we never tired of reading aloud. It is our first choice for a gift book for any small child.
