Do Cows Meow?

Our daughter absolutely loves this book and the companion, Do Crocs Kiss. We have read either one of them almost every night for 6 months, and they helped her to learn animal noises. The pages and the flaps covering the animals are quite robust, although as she has got older and stronger she has managed to rip a couple. The last lines of the rhyming verses are the same each time so she knows when it is time to lift the flap and do the animal noise. The 'revision' part at the back of the book is also a great idea, where you look at each animal and go through the noises again.My only gripe would be some of the noises and the animal choices are a bit random; i.e. tigers do not go 'chomp'. Maybe tiger and lion could have gone in different books, as they both go roar... And a toucan is such a weird choice of bird, so it is quite confusing teaching a 18-month old that a bird makes a 'cheep' sound, then trying to explain why a toucan makes the same sound...Birdy, rather than toucan, would have worked and is the correct number of syllables.Clearly I have spent far too long thinking about this, but when you read something for the 47th time the little things start to annoy.....

This is a wonderful book - I was first introduced to it at story time at the library and raced home to purchase after seeing it captivate a room full of toddlers. The rhyming verses are just the right amount of humour for little people who love to shout the correct animal noise at the top of their lungs. The drawings are very cute and it’s a nice size to hold and big enough to share between my two 22 month olds. Totally recommend.

Love the book and the concept but wish the flaps were more sturdy, its way too flimsy. Flaps are already bent on the first read and I can tell it will rip easily.

A great book. My grandchildren (ages between 2 and 8) love it. Even those who are too young to read love turning the pages and making the animal sounds.

My son LOVES these lift flap books I ended up buying both
