5.0 out of 5 stars The Owl Calls for Whooooo in the Night?, August 5, 2004

By	Sophie Cacique Gaul (Austin, Tejas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Animal Sounds (Golden Sturdy Book) (Board book)

The Illustrations by Aurelius Battaglia are really what sets this children's board book apart from others. My little girls just loved Oinking with Mama Pig as she fed her piglets who say, "Wee, wee, wee!" They mooed with the cow and honked with the goose, quacked with the ducks, buzzed with the flies and the bees, cawed with the crow, tweeted with the birds, and in the nighttime, under a full moon, they whooooed with the owl.

My babies and I got a lot of giggles and tickles out of this book and even though they are a little too old for it now, sometimes I wish they weren't. Ah well, someday they'll open the box I'm packing it away in and read it to their little girls and I'm sure their darlings will love it as much as they did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic, July 31, 2004

By	D. Esselman (Appleton, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Animal Sounds (Golden Sturdy Book) (Board book)

This should be considered a classic. I agree it makes a great baby gift; I have tucked it in with newborn outfits. I started reading it to my girls at 6 months old. They both love it. There are sooo many animal books out there, but this one is worth looking at.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool to teach about farm animals and sounds for 2yr ol, October 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Animal Sounds (Golden Sturdy Book) (Board book)

Easy reading. Great tool to teach about farm animals and their sounds. Recommended for ages 18 months-4 years. My 2 year old loves it. She was able to identify animals by the 3rd reading, and made some of the animal sounds. My 6 year old nephew was able to read some of the words, and the others (like animal names) he figured out from the pictures. Really boasted his reading confidence. The repetition helped.
