More than a book, more than a game- and double the fun! ROAR..SQUAWK...HISS! BAA...MOO..MIAOW! A cacophonous barnyard and a riotous jungle star in this pair of ultra-sturdy mix-and-match titles. Hundreds of combinations of wild and farm animals scamper, slither and prowl across the card-stock pages. There's a bonus puzzle on the back of each spread: a family of mice scamper across FARM ANIMALS; a daffy menagerie inhabits WILD ANIMALS. The shout-out-loud animal sound combinations and bright images encourage parent and child interaction while gently fostering developmentally sound principles of color and shape recognition.

Who ate the sheep's breakfast? Where did the crocodile go? The answers be spotted behind the intriguing die-cut pages of these animal adventures. Sturdy board books encourage youngsters to identify typical animals found on a farm and in the jungle. At the same time, a simple story poses a mystery, which the ingenious die-cut pages not only help the reader solve, but which prove irresistable to turn and enjoy.

Bright, cheerful, and inviting are the qualities which distinguish this friendly quartet of very first readers, intended for children just beginning to decode words on their own. Little Mouse's bustling activities are the perfect vehicle to introduce not only reading but also underscore such previously acquired concepts as colors, time, prepositions and sharing. Words are carefully matched to illustrations-insuring that the youngest reader is provided visual reinforcement. An endearing character, compelling stories, sturdy card-stock pages: the perfect answer to the ever-present demand for titles which make the bridge from read-alouds to read-alones.?

A counting and identify-the-animals-and-their-sounds book in sturdy borad book format. One by one (and two, three, four all the way to ten!) the animals on the farm wake up to the rooster's crow. Horses must be fed, cows must be milked, ducks must go off for a swim. Loudly and happily, the farm swings into a day of boisterous busyness, punctuacted by clucks and moos and neighs. Youngsters will love counting and indentifying the animals, imitating their sounds, an playing hunt and find as they locate the little mouse that travels from page to page. Never before have the myriad activities of a barnyard been duplicated with such rollicking good humor!
