Come and explore the quiet, NOISY woods, and follow two wolf pups
finding their way back to their pack in this adorable read-aloud picture
book--full of boisterous animal noises and artwork that will inspire
kids to get out into nature.
Squirrels chit-chitter-chatter, foxes swoosh-whoosh-rush, a deer
stomp-stomp-stamps, and a hawk *scree-scree-*screeches. Into these
quiet, NOISY woods, readers follow two frisky wolf pups
*yip-yap-*yowling and *grr-ruff-ruff-*racing as they find their way back
to their pack. Children will love calling out the interesting animal
sounds throughout this enchanting, fast-paced chase through a lush
forest.
And young readers will come to know more about forest creatures and
their interconnected lives, in this creative story by poet and
naturalist Michael J. Rosen, who was inspired by the one-hundred-acre
wood where he lives. The two final pages of the book include facts about
each of the animals featured in this caper.
Annie Won's signature luminous artwork lights the way, showcasing the
animals and their habitat with glowing warmth.
The rhythmic, lyrical text builds cumulatively from page to page. . . .
Lovely realistic paintings in earthy hues of greens, browns, and yellows
evoke hectic daytime woodland activity before eventually settling down
to a soothing nighttime conclusion.--Kirkus
Highly recommended as a title to introduce children to the wonder of
nature, well supported with beautiful illustrations.--School Library
