Shapiro, Arnold Mice Squeak, We Speak

Now in a board book format, this delightful poem with charming folk-art style pictures from renowned illustrator Tomie dePaola is a perfect first book for sharing with young children. "The sounds that animals make is the joyful subject of this very simple rhyme in the three verses and dePaola's exuberant illustrations in his best bold folk-art style will have kids joining in and shouting out the words." (Booklist, starred review) "Simplicity is the soul of this toddler-friendly poem about how animals and humans communicate. It's also at the heart of the crayon-bright artwork, a model of merry restraint." (Publishers Weekly)
