About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in a wiggly, silly mood and needs a tactile way to burn off restless energy through play. It is the perfect solution for long car rides or quiet afternoons when a toddler is seeking independent exploration but still wants to share a laugh with you. The book uses a split-page format that allows children to mix the front and back halves of various farm animals to create hilarious hybrids like a Pig-eep or a Cow-en. While the primary goal is pure, joyful entertainment, it also serves as a brilliant tool for building early vocabulary and phonemic awareness. Parents will appreciate the sturdy construction and the way it encourages a playful, imaginative approach to the world, showing children that things don't always have to be exactly as they seem. It is a delightful bridge between a traditional picture book and a hands-on toy.

A three-year-old who is currently obsessed with animal sounds but is starting to develop a sophisticated enough sense of humor to realize that a cow with chicken legs is 'wrong' and therefore hilarious.
