Listen to Our World

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. At the start of a day, (human) mothers greet their children and invite them to listen to the world. Each of the following spreads introduces a habitat, the mother and babies therein, and the sounds they make (the squawk of the parrots, the snap of the crocodiles, etc.). An accessible but unremarkable text is elevated by energetic, celebratory, beautifully colored illustrations. Animal facts appended.
