Thanks to NetGalley and NorthSouth Books for the advanced digital copy for me to read and review.

This wordless book is a fun concept and has lots of potential for use in a lower-elementary classroom with fun interaction, vocabulary and English language learning, etc. or as a one-on-one read aloud with a child at home. As an elementary librarian I can imagine students enjoying about half of it before getting somewhat bored - there are a LOT of pictures to interact with (about 120) in the book! (I reviewed it digitally and assume each picture is a separate page or 2 page spread, which means there would be 120+ pages). The digital illustrations are bold, colorful and simplistic, similar to Todd Parr's illustration style.

I wanted to love this book so much, but I found it overwhelming and the pictures, at times, felt amateur. This book isn’t for everyone, but it will absolutely be the favorite of others. Some kids are going to love all of the silly pictures and the opportunity to lots of noise, but others may be frustrated by the unusual pictures or the sheer number of pages (over 100!) If you’ve got a fan of goofy noises who has the stamina for long books or is okay reading only part of a book, then this is the book for you.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

Oh my goodness this book!!!! Despite there being no written words it has so much to offer! I can picture using this from any grade kindergarten to grade 8 for so many things (vocabulary for English language learners, story writing, onomatopoeia lessons). The possibilities are literally endless!
