Say What?
With an interactive text and bright, playful illustrations, explore what baby animals really mean when they make their adorable baby animal sounds.
When a lion says ROAR,
does he really mean MORE?
When a cow says MOO,
does she really mean YOU?
How do we know what animals say when they say what they say with their sounds everyday? With an interactive text and bright, playful illustrations, Angela DiTerlizzi and Joey Chou explore what baby animals really mean when they make their adorable baby animal sounds.
