Everybody Says Meow! Or do they? Fans of Sandra Boynton and of Jules Feiffer’s classic Bark, George will meow, bark, and ribbit when they hear this hilarious picture book about a waggish group of adorable animals that just cannot follow one simple instruction.

“Welcome to that magical time when everybody says, ‘Meow!’ Ready?”

Well, not quite. There’s also a “Woof.” And a “Ribbit.”

A few words and a minimal background can make for plenty of mischief—especially when your characters are adorable, delightfully silly, and probably NOT LISTENING!

Fun, cumulative, and playful, Everybody Says Meow is perfect for preschoolers and toddlers just learning how to read.  --Publisher
