While trying to discover who says boo, preschoolers visiting a farm learn the noises that various animals make. Although the sporadic rhymes are banal, the language is frequently inspired: a pig "sqwuffles in the mud"; an owl says "tu-whit, tu-whoo!" Toddlers will love both the book's punch line (the preschoolers themselves say "Boo!") and the candy-colored images featuring animals big enough to span facing pages.
