Who Hoots?

Katie Davis. Red Wagon Books, $5.95 (34pp) ISBN 978-0-15-216616-8

More animals turn up in Who Hoots? and Who Hops?, converted from picture books by Katie Davis. Neon-bright colors make the creatures stand out. A question (""Who hoots?"") triggers a series of correct statements, one per page (""Dogs don't hoot""). A wrong answer (""Owls don't hoot"") signals the turning point and sets the stage for an ecological primer (""Yes they do! Owls have swively necks and stay up all night, and they definitely hoot!"").
