PreS-Gr 1--An interesting blend of fiction and nonfiction that encourages young readers to make animal sounds while explaining why the animals make those sounds. Short, interactive phrases appear on traditional picture book pages ("Cows moo. How about you?"), while chatty informative text runs down a long yellow sidebar ("Cows will only moo to tell other cows that it is time to eat, to find other cows if she finds herself alone, or if she cannot see her calf."). No source notes are included. Fatus's artwork will draw in young readers; the full-page acrylic and collage illustrations are bright and inviting. VERDICT A good addition for one-on-one sharing with young readers who are always asking "why."--Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA
