review 1: A small girl with a humongous voice scares away all the animals she meets until she meets lion. He is as loud as she is. Together they enjoy the day.What I thought: A lovely story with simple text. Children will enjoy guessing what animal comes next. I like the illustrations--so colorful and no lines. My favorite illustrations are the elephant, blowing bubbles, and the girl and lion laughing together.Story Time Themes: Animals, Loud Noises (pair with The Loud Book)
review 2: A little, little girl has a very loud voice. She heads out looking for a friend to play with. She searches the jungle, but her big voice scares the animals away. First, an elephant run, then a snake, then a crocodile! It’s not until she meets a very loud and very large lion and isn’
... moret scared by his roar, that she makes a friend. Balouch has created a book that is bright, funny and loud. Her text is simple and easily read aloud, loudly. It has a rhythm that is natural and easy as well as a strong structure of repetition. As the little girl meets each animal, there is the happy greeting and then the little girl opens her mouth. Words in each encounter are bright colored and larger, so readers will know where the punch of sound belongs.The illustrations are just as loud as the little girl. Just like the cover, they are filled with hot pinks, oranges, zingy greens, and bright blues. The noise waves, whenever the little girl talks, are depicted in circles of color emanating from her. This adds to the color, motion and zip of the book.A winning book about being different and finding acceptance without changing, this book is a readaloud win for any child who is loud themselves. Appropriate for ages 3-5. less

Storytime idea: Have kids yell "HI (insert animal)!" as she greets each animal.
