Beth Harwood (Author), Derek Matthews (Illustrator), Richard Hawke (Collaborator), Jonathan Lambert (Designer)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 5, 2005 | Age Level: 3 and up

With Snappy Sounds Boo!, children can experience the thrills of seeing and hearing skeletons jumping out from their graves, a ghost train swiftly moving through the darkness, owls hooting as bats circle a haunted house, and organ music playing as witches and monsters dance at a wickedly fun Halloween party. Each page reveals a unique sound paired with large pop-ups, as well as questions that teach children new words and assist in identification and comprehension. Innovative and educational, this bold, brightly colored interactive combines the best of children's top selling formats — pop-ups and electronic — in a novel and entertaining way.

The Snappy Sounds books are great, but I got one from Amazon and the one page did not play music. I ordered them because a few were half price. But it is probably best to buy these at a store so you can make sure each page plays music.

Cute book, but the one that I receive makes no sound. Could be a blessing in disguise, but either way, it's poor quality.

The Snappy Sounds books are fun -- my blind grandson likes the sounds, and my sighted granddaughter likes the pop up images. They are fun topics, like the Halloween "BOO" title.
