In this story--told almost entirely in the cat's meows--a young girl steps on her cat Marigold's tail, the hurt cat runs for cover, and after an apology, all is forgiven.

Everybody Says Meow! Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer's classic Bark, George will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this hilarious picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.

As one animal sits on another in an accumulating progression, the reader learns the sounds each animal makes.

After being hit on the head, Hilda the singing cow forgets what sound she should make, so she imitates different animals until she gets her "moo" back.

All the farm animals in this cumulative tale get into the act when the bull starts chasing the cow around the pasture.

Kipper the dog makes friends with a honking goose which responds to him in the only way it knows how.

The farm animals are bored until a big wind strikes the barnyard.

A dog, a rooster, a cow, and a mouse mistake their own echoes for larger animals and set out to scare them away.

During the night, the marsh comes alive with the singing of all kinds of frogs, from spring peepers and wood frogs to leopard and pig frogs.
