Review of "Night Sounds" by Frank Gallo, Lori Lohstoeter

(Not shown: Birdcalls, Written by Frank Gallo, Illustrated by Lori Lohstoeter, ISBN# 1-58476-064-8)

Wow! These are for children from 4 to 8. Inside these two books are buttons to push and hear sound, tabs to pull to see birds and animals and flaps to lift. The birdcalls are really good and you can hear them just by pushing a button. If you lift the flap in these pages you can read the information and on the opposing pages you pull a flap and see the bird or animal in some good looking and natural surroundings.

There is one more title from these publishers to check out. It is called HOCUS-POCUS (ISBN# 1-58476-060-5) and is a cookbook for ages 6 and up. There are 50 recipes including and the reader-cook will have a delightful time in the kitchen. There is a magical wand to use on the potion you are making and some magic words. Best of all there is a Wizard Wheel to use to find the secret ingredient in your selected recipe. The book is filled with bright illustrations and some real recipes to try.
