Rick Walton

As any kid can tell you, little animals don't just make noises-they have conversations. And now everyone can learn what they say: Little birds say, "Treat! Treat! Treat! Give us something good to eat!" and little horses say, "Nay! Nay! You can't ride on us today!" From snakes to chicks, find out what the animals are really saying.Perfect for sharing aloud, Rick Walton's infectious verse and Henry Cole's hysterical illustrations will change the way you hear moos and meows forever.

Reviews

"Cole's (Little Bo) double-page cartoons of the animal world brim with goofy charm: snakes sleep in trees with pillows and blankets, and cows float in space wearing planetary-themed sleeper pjs." —Publishers Weekly

"Cole's comical illustrations, rendered in acrylic paints and colored pencils, add to the book's appeal. The animals' expressive faces are clearly the focus of the simply composed pictures. Humorous details like the flowered swim cap on a mother bird or the pink-and-blue blankets covering the sleepy snakes give the book a goofy charm." —School Library Journal

"Cole adds to the fun with scenes of expressive cartoon animals barking, braying, hissing, and mooing enthusiastically. Don't expect listeners to say, "Enough!" after just one run-through." —Kirkus
