~ Synopsis
Having heard the farm animals say
~Please~ with woofs, quacks, oinks,
and meows. Tom adopts the same
noises when he asks his aunt to
read him a story.
~ This book shows that there are
many ways to say please.
~~Industry Reviews~~
~PreS~ A small child knows how
different animals get what they want: ~``woof, woof'' means
``Throw my ball, please!,''
~ ``meow meow'' means
``May I have some milk, please?' etc.
~ So the boy adopts the same technique
when he hands his aunt a book.
She instructs him to ~Say~PLEASE~
'Woof woof, quack quack, meow meow,
oink oink, please, Auntie Bea!'
he replies.
~ Large, uncluttered, appealing illustrations in pencil and
watercolor enhance this satisfying
book with an inherent logic that
is right on target for toddlers.
