Bookroo's summary

In a lively barnyard, goats, birds, and horses create a noisy symphony, while rabbits remain silent. Amidst the chaos, what do mommies say? Join the fun and find out!

From the publisher

Goats say “Maa-Maa-Maa.” Birds say “Cheep-Cheep-Cheep.” Horses say “Neigh-Neigh-Neigh.” Rabbits say nothing at all! But when all of these animals get together and raise a honking, braying, neighing ruckus, what do mommies say? “Shhhhhh!” With the simplest of texts and a variety of fun animal noises, Patricia Polacco has created another read-aloud winner for the preschool crowd.
