Summary: Great Book!
Review: This is a really good book for all ages. It is about all kinds of animals, it also rhymes! I think the thing that attracts people to this book is its colors and textures the picture look/have. It is great for younger kids and has a very cute ending. I would reccommend it!

Summary: 10 times a day for Tyler!
Review: This is my son Tyler's (17 mos) favorite book. He loves the colorful pictures and loves it even more when Mommy tries to make all the animal noises for him! (Ever try to make a yelping peacock or fluting flamingo noise??) No matter how many times I read this book to him, he wants to hear it just one more time...ok, maybe two...or three... I especially love the fact that it is about more unusual animals - peacock, flamingo, walrus, as opposed to your everyday dog, cat, cow -type animals. I highly recommend this book, it's a must have!

Summary: Not bad, but not a very good introduction to animal sounds
Review: What I had expected in this book was the onomatopoeia ("buzz", "meow", etc.) that is usual to other books about animal noises. Although this book used some familiar terms, many of the terms for animal sounds were confusing to my daughter. For example, I had a difficult time explaining what "fluting" might sound like, since I really don't know what a flamingo sounds like (I live in the frozen Midwest). It's also hard to explain "trumpeting" to someone who doesn't know or understand what a trumpet is. The text flows beautifully, the repetition is soothing to little ears and Eric Carle's illustrations are always a treat. Despite this, I can't recommend this book as highly as some other reviewers have. I know that my disappointment stems from the fact that I had planned to use this book to explain the sounds that some exotic animals make. I really don't need this book just for the repetition and poetry, I think that the "Brown Bear..." book by the same team does a better job at that task.

Summary: My kids love it.
Review: When I first started buying children's books for my twins, I was doing it more for me than for them since I knew I'd be the one re-reading it all the time. This was a fantastic book that everyone in my family really enjoys. My girls love to hear the animal sounds as I read about the zoo animals & they love looking at Eric Carle's brilliant illustrations. It also keeps their attention, which trust me, isn't easy at 10 months old. I have a feeling that this will be a treasured book for years to come.

Summary: EXCELLENT EXCELLANT BOOK
Review: Your two and a half year old can read this book by him/herself after you read it with them a few times! It is my daughter's favorite just like the Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? book by the same author. The kids like to peep at the next page and see which animal it next and then read it. They learn a lot of new words from this book such as hissing, braying, bellowing, etc. And the most impressive thing is my daughter has learnt how to pronounce certain hard words from this author's books and she does just fine. At her age, she can actually say "boa constrictor" (one of the animals in the book) very clearly and with such innocence she reads the third last page as follows: "zoo peeker, zoo peeker, what do you hear? instead of zookeeper zookeeper! Thank you Bill Martin Jr and Eric Carle, for creating this book. I have had this book for months and my daughters still love it. It is nothing but the BEST !!!!
