Honk!

Here is an adorable lift-the-flap book that preschoolers will love. A little goose has strayed from his mother. Now he must search for her among the animals in the barnyard. Approaching a dog, a horse, a pig, and other animals, the little goose asks, "Honk?" When children lift the flap on the animals, they discover "Woof," "Neigh," "Oink," and other animal-sound words until the little goose is finally reunited with his mother. Chris Demarest's happy pictures make this lift-the-flap book a pure delight.

Children's Literature

Little Goose is lost and he is searching for his mother. Kids accompany him, lifting flaps to see if Mama Goose is there. Caregivers can rest assured knowing that the last flap uncovers Mama whose joy at finding her little one is quite evident. There is nothing terribly original about this story, but it is a book that young kids will enjoy.
