Everybody Says Meow!
Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer’s classic
Bark, George
will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this hilarious picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.
“Welcome to that magical time when everybody says,
‘
Meow
!’
Ready?”
Well, not quite. There’s also a “Woof.” And a “Ribbit.”
A few words and a minimal background can make for plenty of mischief—especially when your characters are adorable, delightfully silly, and probably NOT LISTENING!
Fun, cumulative, and playful,
Everybody Says Meow
is perfect for preschoolers and toddlers just learning how to read.
“Working in pen, ink, and watercolor, Lombardo’s bright
scenes focus all the attention on her cast as they discover that not everybody
says ‘meow’—and that more friends make things much more fun.”
Publishers Weekly
“This readaloud swiftly becomes a read-along, and little ones will quickly join in with the various animal sounds. A final comic punch will leave listeners giggling and wanting more.”
