Animals and the sounds they make are paired up in playfully compelling ways in this eye-catching illustrated gift book featuring bold colors and an engaging use of onomatopoeia. Kids and parents will delight in discovering the ways in which the letters that spell out each animal's sound are key elements of that animal's illustration.

Such a simple idea. To hear the premise explained would surely cause one to say, “Oh, I could do that. My child could do that.” Arndt takes one simple shape and adds the letters of the onomatopoeia word representing the sound the animal makes and creates a picture of the animal. But when you compare the simplicity of the idea with the absolute perfection (and I use that word advisedly) of the execution, you see what “genius” really means. This is an absolutely delightful book, one which has brought a smile to every adult I have shown it to. [My favorite thing about sharing is watching people's fingers get involved, picking out the letters.]
