Picture book tuut tuut woekelie wuut 4+

Product Details This children's book is a hilarious parody of classic picture books about animal sounds. 'Tuut tuut woekelie wuut' guarantees loud reading sessions and also teaches children a valuable lesson about sharing. The cow says boo. The horse says huuhuhuhu. So far no problem. But when the sheep says bèèeh, the goat interrupts him. Because the goat also says bèèeh. What now? All animals want their own sound! After some fussing, the sheep gets a good idea: what if he says something no one has ever said before? And so he shouts at the top of his lungs: Tuut tuut wookiee wuut wopperdehop klip pat jekkieplekkie pruuuuuuuuut! Unfortunately, even that turns out not to be a unique sound, because an alien promptly lands on the farm in a spaceship to claim the sound. The alien does have an interesting proposal for the sheep and the goat - a solution that will sound familiar to adults... 'Tuut tuut woekelie wuut' is the picture book debut of The New Yorker cartoonist Matthew Diffee. It is unexpected and delightfully absurd through the combination of classical prints and unexpected text. No moralistic message, but a funny story about the benefits of sharing, in an excellent translation by Zilveren Griffel winner Jaap Robben. This book is fun for children aged 4 and up.
