Puppy keeps hearing a strange "meowing" noise. Where's it coming from? As he scours the area inside and outside his home, he comes across various animals, but they all make different sounds. They don't say "meow" but they do say things like "Squeak" or "cock-a-doodle-doo." The story makes good use of repetition - just enough for effect not overdoing it. The illustrations are on one side of the page with the text on the other side. Large colorful hand-drawn letters emphasize each animal's sound. Good for preschool through grade 1.
