When kids press the big soft cloth button that appears through the cut-out in this book's front cover, they hear: CHEEP! CHEEP! Where is that noise coming from? Colorful and funny illustrations take toddlers on a noisy trip through the farmyard. It all begins in a cleverly rhymed story, as Hetty Hen loses the egg she has laid in the hay, then has to go looking for it. Little lambs say BAA, piglets say OINK, and ducklings cry QUACK, as Hetty Hen's egg rolls away. When she finds it at last, she has a happy surprise, because it hatches and cries out: CHEEP! The interactive text adds to kids' fun as they turn pages and press the big button. (Ages 2-4)
