A barnyard game of telephone goes wildly wrong in this hilarious picture book that demands to be read out loud.

Reviews

"This circular tale offers plenty of laughs, and children will love to join in on the wacky string of animal sounds. A great storytime choice....Pass it on." -- School Library Journal

"Get ready for many, ever-sillier rereadings." -- Kirkus Reviews

"Czekaj wrings an impressive amount of humor from a simple conceit; the story will likely have children ready to play telephone (or just make some animal noises)." -- Publishers Weekly

"The simple compositions, dynamic posed animals, bright colors, and large word bubbles will make this as successful with larger groups as it will be with an audience of a few." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for CAT SECRETS: "There's readalone potential here as well as readaloud, but most of all there's pretend-to-be-a-kitty potential, and kids will find the opportunity irresistible." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Praise for CAT SECRETS: "The book has obvious appeal as a read-aloud, with its instructions and large-format cartoons, but it has the intimacy of a story to be read independently." -- School Library Journal

Praise for CAT SECRETS: "Irresistible cartoon art." -- ALA Booklist

Praise for CAT SECRETS: "Expressive, high-contrast, high-energy cartoons." -- Publishers Weekly
