Book Description
for Why Do I Sing? by Jennifer Blomgren and Andrea Gabriel
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Realistically rendered illustrations of ten animals with habitats in the Pacific Northwest are each paired with a four-line rhyme describing their vocalizations. From honeybees to fin whales to marmots, a wide-ranging lineup of species is showcased in a board book to be shared with the youngest of naturalists. Even amphibians are accounted for, as “the Pacific tree frogs / lead a big twilight chorus / that fills up the wetlands / and pastures and forests.” (Ages 2–5)
