Eric Carle works his visual magic again in Chatter, Chirp, Bark & Buzz (2015). The print I have is a "Me Reader" book designed to work with a sound pad. Each page of text has an icon that apparently corresponds to a button on the sound pad. We see page after page of Carle's wonderful creatures: birds in the park, farm animals, forest friends, jungle buddies, an eagle, sea mammals, a house party, and garden. I'm thrilled whenever Eric Carle can publish because he's one of my favorite illustrators.
