In Pet, a kid narrator instructs readers on how to care for each pet, which elicits approving sounds from the animals. In Play, a different kid narrator introduces musical instruments needed for a band and likewise spurs noisemaking ("A saxophone goes DOO-BEE-DOO. / I can DOO it--you can, too!"). In both boisterously illustrated stories in rhyme, young helpers with Peanuts-gang proportions demonstrate how to make a joyful sound. Review covers these titles: Pet This Book and Play This Book.
