Product Information

Oink-a-Doodle-Moo by Jef Czekaj. The animals play a game of telephone and as you expect, it doesn’t work out like it should. Lots of fun animal sounds in this silly book. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), babies start babbling when they are 4-6 months old, delighting caregivers with consonant-vowel combinations like “ma” or “um,” and then strings of syllables like “babababa!” Peek-a-Moo! by Marie Torres Cimarusti will be loved by children who like to play peek-a-boo. The animals in the book are all hiding their faces. Guess who they are. Pull the arms down. “Peek-a-moo says the cow.” Sharing engaging birth to three books like this 'Let's Go to the Farm!' story will support children in developing a range of EYFS learning outcomes. For example, learning sounds will give children a strong foundation for early phonics learning later on in their development.

Hi! (Animal Words) by Ethan Long. We first fell in love with Ethan Long’s art work and comic book style with My Dad, My Hero . In his new book, Hi! , Long introduces us to animals’ first words in a rhyming call and response. Bonus Barros, Kamila S.; Tokumaru, Rosana S.; Pedroza, Janine P.; Nogueira, Selene S. C.

Certain words in the English language represent animal sounds: the noises and vocalizations of particular animals, especially noises used by animals for communication. The words can be used as verbs or interjections in addition to nouns, and many of them are also specifically onomatopoeic.

Doggies is another fun read by Sandra Boynton. Count the barks of the dogs. Each dog has its own bark. “One dog. Woof! Two dogs. Woof! Yap Yap!” On the story goes until you reach one cat at the end. The meowing cat always makes my daughter giggle. This book can be used by all early years professionals to support learning and undertake objective observations and assessments. These types of books can be particularly helpful when supporting children's speech and language development. Words assigned to animal sounds vary across languages because they’ve been filtered through each language’s characteristics and rules. For example, a friend of mine explained that the standard bird sound in Hebrew is “tsif tsif.” This helps kids practice saying the “ts” sound, spelled by the Hebrew letter “tsaddik,” and used to spell “tsipor,” the Hebrew word for bird. Sandra Boynton’s animal books are some of our favorites. They top the list in our favorite books for babies post. Toddlers love them, too. Parents can read them again and again because of their whimsy and humor. Moo Baa La La La has the standard animal sounds with a twist. Do pigs say, “la la la?” No? My favorite line is at the end of book. “It’s quiet now, what do you say?” We always repeat each animal’s sound and point to the animal. Schwartz, Charles Walsh; Schwartz, Elizabeth Reeder (2001). The Wild Mammals of Missouri (2nd reviseded.). University of Missouri Press. p.316. ISBN 9780826213594.

The brightly coloured pictures and adorable animals will maintain children's interest and help expand their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. This would also be a great book to use before going on a trip to a farm. Walkley, Sarah (Spring 2018).

Retrieved 12 November 2022. {{ cite journal}}: Cite journal requires |journal= ( help) Varying the way you ask the question (if you ask about the animal or the noise) will help to reinforce their learning further. When using a book or supporting resource, you should also point to the animal or sound that you're referring to, to help stimulate visual learning and recognition. Animal sounds bridge babbling and actual words, as they fit nicely into the developmental progression of early speech sounds. Many animal sounds are easier to say than animal names. In English, “baaa” is less taxing to produce than the /sh/ sound in “sheep,” and “neigh” is less complex to say than “horse.” a b Symons, Mitchell (2012).
