PSWhat's That Noise? series.
Little ones are encouraged to guess the animal under a flap by pressing a button on the verso that activates a battery-powered recording of each animal’s signature sound. When the gatefold flap on the recto is opened, readers will see as well as hear the critter. While the text is predictable, the art is enticing, using muted swaths of color and simple shapes.
