This is one of the very first books that I bought the girls and it’s still one of their first picks when we sit down to read. Its a great way to teach them their animal sounds and introduce them to the idea of humor, it doesn’t take them long to realize that three pigs saying La La La is the “joke”. I also found that the rhythm of the book made it very easy for me to read the animal names and let them respond with the corresponding sound.
