作者简介

"Bo takes his puppy outside and as they encounter a host of animals and things, kids will learn the various sounds that they make. Duck says "Quack," buzz goes the bee, the rooster crows and an owl hoots. Through it all Bo's new puppy doesn't utter a sound. It is not until the final page when a cat appears on the scene that we hear what the puppy has to say. Large illustrations and limited text in a predictable pattern comprise this Step 1 book in the "Step Into Reading' Series. It is a phonics reader and there are instructions for parents on the inside cover."
