Discussion
This is not what I would call high quality children's literature in the slightest. The text is big enough for children to recognize it is text, and it is a sturdy board book for young children, but the illustrations are not worthy of praise in the slightest. This book was created to help very young children learn their animal sounds through use of manipulative objects in a book, helping to familiarize them with literature. Though the book is not high quality, I feel it would be a helpful addition to a child's play area in a classroom, though definitely should not be used as a read aloud, or even as a nighttime story in one's household.

Yeah ... there are so many books that are not of high quality. I'm glad you've discovered some of them and are able to critically evaluate them this way.
