Monkeys never tweet; birds do! But . . . have you ever heard a horse bark? Or a butterfly growl? Or even a rabbit go oink? Find out for sure in this delightful book to read aloud, in which a series of questions with bright bold illustrations prompt readers and listeners to guess the answers. Preschoolers will clamor to participate and to show off their newly acquired knowledge of animal sounds.

About the Author
After studying at the Harrow School of Art and the Royal College of Art, Melanie Walsh worked as a textile designer before writing and illustrating children’s books. In addition to receiving many fine reviews, she won the Parents Choice Gold Award for Do Pigs Have Stripes? Melanie lives in London and has two young twin sons.
From Kirkus Reviews
Walsh (Do Pigs Have Stripes?, 1996) again asks preschoolers questions to which they probably know the answers, but that doesn't mean they're a snap. ``Do horses bark? No, dogs do,'' although the horse in the picture does hold a bone in its mouth. Tickling small funnybones, Walsh lures little ones into the swing of things, for each question requires a resounding ``No!''--each question but the surprising final one, because owls do go hoot in the middle of the night. Bright, large images in a childlike scrawl of lines and flat planes of color, combined with the book's reiterated invitation to participate, make it a perfect candidate for story hours. The simplicity of presentation masks the book's complex wit and trickiness: Children will love it. (Picture book. 4-7) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
