When picking out a non-fiction book for young readers it's hard to go wrong with an animal book. And when it comes to animal books, I'm a fan of focusing on the superlatives. Most young readers are intrigued by extremes. And this book does more than tell us about how loud these creatures are. That is an element of course. So too is the function that being loud serves in the animals lives. We also get a fair amount of generalized info about the creatures and their role in the environment. The illustrations are stylized in a very artistic way. Appealing without having to be photo-realistic.
