Summary:

Rhyming text with puns on the sounds that different animals make offers advice on how to deal with each animal.
 

Blurb:

If you want to know what animals are really talking about, this is the book for you. A "moo" isn't just an unhappy moan, nor a "nay" a pleasant whinny. Actually, little cows say, "Moo-oon! Moo-oon! We would like to go there soon." And little horses say, "Nay! Nay! You can't ride on us today!"

So learn how to listen to all kinds of animals, and you'll never hear a dog's "rough!" the same way again.

Full of clever word play, and rollicking illustrations, this is sure to make kids say, "Again! Again!"

 

Dedication:

To James and Heidi Ivie, and their little ones Joseph and Rose.
