This early picture-book experiment by the author of Goodnight Moon sets in motion a game-like narrative that invites both the reading adult and the listening child to mimic the raucous street noises heard by a dog named Muffin. The call-and-response pattern all but guarantees an uproarious experience and the realization of a key progressive objective: the full involvement of children in their own learning and play.
