There, There

Japanese illustrator Taro Miura brings his bold, whimsical graphic style to a board book for the very young. The answer to the question "What does the animal say?" takes a clever turn when a "cluck, cluck," a "woof, woof," and a "moo, moo" are met with a toddler's "wah, wah!" Uh-oh! Now the frog also says "wah, wah!" and the other animals follow suit, shedding big tears, until the child speaks the magic words to comfort them all.
