Illustrated by
Steve Jenkins.
Animal sounds are the focus of this high-interest book populated with Jenkins's arresting cut-paper animal collages, strikingly placed against plain white backgrounds. So "can an aardvark bark?" No, it grunts, and other animals grunt, too. In the what and why of squeals, bellows, and growls we detect the greetings, warnings, and territorial assertions of animal communication.
