We check out books at the library before purchasing any to see which ones my 11 month old daughter actually likes. She loves this one and always selects it to take home. I don't care much for the split page (that's why I'm giving it only 4 stars) but when I make the sound written down and match it with the animal it always makes her laugh. She has a short attention span so board books with long sentences are not as interesting at this point. Definitely looking forwarding to adding this to her permanent collection.

I love Eric Caryle's artwork and his books are very appropriate for babies and toddlers. The "very first" series is a must have for any parent's library.

This book is not up to the usual level of cleverness you'd expect from Eric Carle. The split page format might b good for a intermediate reader but for a toddler the format of mixing and matching written animal sounds with pictures of animals is strange.

I ordered 14 Eric Carle books because I loved his hungry catapiller, polar bear and brown bear books however the 14 others I ordered were very disappointing. I never have time to go to the post office or else I would have returned every single one including this book.
