Illustrations and simple, rhyming couplets capture a series of greetings between animals, as an owl's "hoo" is answered by a cow's "moo," and a bird's "chirp" leads to an anteater's "slurp."

Illustrations and simple text show parent-and-child animal pairs saying goodnight to each other, as a chick's "peep peep" is answered by a chicken's "cluck cluck" and a puppy's "ruff ruff" is returned by a dog's "woof woof".

Try not to laugh as you and your children neigh like horses or croak like frogs, purr like a kitten or make your voice go low and soft as a mouse. Specially crafted to engage young children and 'get the giggles out', each page is decked with a colorful illustration and instructions that slowly progress from energetic to quiet and still, guiding them naturally to the calm that leads to sleep.

Introduces young readers to the sounds a variety of animals make with the help of illustrations created by Quentin Blake from Roald Dahl's classic books.

"One day a tiny cricket is born. He meets a big cricket who chirps his welcome. The tiny cricket tries to respond, but he cannot make a sound. And so the cricket makes his way in the world, meeting one insect after another who greets him with a cheery hello."--P. [4] of cover.

Everybody Says Meow! Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer's classic Bark, George will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this hilarious picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.

The animals in the woods wonder if the awful noise they hear is coming from a monster.

Presents step-by-step instructions for making more than two hundred sounds with one's mouth, including animal sounds, whistles, pops, clicks, musical instrument impressions, and such noises as "Star Trek" doors and light sabers, along with related facts and a CD containing hundreds of sounds, stories, and video clips.

As one animal sits on another in an accumulating progression, the reader learns the sounds each animal makes.

As darkness falls in the forest, animals hoot, chirp, whirr, and bark, lulling drowsy children to sleep.
