Animal Sounds by Christopher Silas Neal

Animal Sounds by Christopher Silas Neal is a hilarious introduction into the world of nature. The artist ingeniously plays with perspective, portraying animals at their most common angle, be it from right beneath their nose.

Neal experiments with sounds by merging them and the images of two animals. The bear-bee goes "Gruzzzzzzzz" for example as he flies with the other flies. A wolf-bird says "Chawooooo", illustrated like a creature from Greek mythology. This is a book that encourages children to use their imagination. They will be working out how to combine different animals themselves for long after having read this.
