Illustrated by
Sarah Durham.
Children see, hear, sing, and yell different things in response to the title and to other questions related to the senses; the questions are then directed back to the reader. The book's tiny trim size is appealing, but its faux-naive gouache and ink illustrations, spots set on backgrounds of saturated color, lack balance and contribute to the twee treatment.
