"What's That Sound? At the Circus is the perfect little board book.
Its size is comfortable and accessible for hands of all sizes, and
its bold colors are attractive and inviting. The story includes
sights and sounds that captivate even the shortest of attention
spans. . . . . . It will quickly become a beloved favorite. The
good news is there are three more in the series (In the City, On
the Farm, By the Sea) and hopefully many more to come." -- Curled
Up With a Good Kid's Book From a review for both What's That Sound?
At the Circus and What's That Sound? By the Sea by CM Magazine:
"These two new titles in the "What's That Sound" board book series
are excellent introductions to descriptive sound words as well as
springboards to discussions about the circus and the sea - both of
which may be novel situations for toddlers. The illustrations in
these two books are wonderful. LaFave has created eye-catching and
colourful pictures with just enough detail to stimulate questions
and discussion. . . These two books with their rollicking rhymes,
loving endings, interesting illustrations, and invitations to cozy
conversations are sure to be sought out whenever it is time for a
good read." Highly Recommended. -- CM Magazine "What's that Sound?
At the Circus is full of sounds to delight the ears of the youngest
readers. The board book helps them link noises to objects and
encourage them to associate meanings with letters on the page." --
The Examiner (Peterborough) "Toddlers hardly need to be encouraged
to make sounds! But do it anyway, with What's that Sound? board
books. Ok, sounds aren't the stuff kids are supposed to know by
kindergarten, but these are lots of fun!" -- Hi-Rise Newspaper
