ROAR!
Bold lions roaring, wrinkly elephants mud-wallowing, and stripy zebras fast-galloping are just a few of the wild animals captured in the rollicking rhymes of this enchanting picture book.
Ayliffe’s bold cut-paper artwork of creatures and their habitats perfectly complement Mayo’s ability to bring animals to life through vibrant language. A wonderful read-aloud!

Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Mayo’s text is simple but catchy in its repeated gerunds. Ayliffe’s cut-paper illustrations nearly jump off the page – their simplicity might encourage young listeners to make their own pictures with cut outs – and each spread is an appealing riot of color.”
—Kirkus Reviews
School Library Journal
“Ayliffe’s illustrations have bright, bold colors and simple, but effective depictions of the animals and landscapes that fairly leap off the pages. This book will enjoy repeated readings.”
—School Library Journal
Science Books & Films
“A charming read-aloud for the very young introduces a dozen favorite animals described in a delightful style that encourages actiping, hopping, bounding, and … bumpety-bumping!’”
