Moo, Baa, La La La!

by Sandra Boynton, Sandra Boynton (Illustrator)

Overview

Notes From Your Bookseller

If you enjoyed saying the title, you'll enjoy reading the book. It's full of all the animal sounds for your young reader to sing and shout, and don't be surpised if you end up doing the same.

This raucous story about animals and the sounds they make, including three pigs who say “LA LA LA!” is a read-aloud favorite.

Sandra Boynton’s wildly popular, Moo, Baa, La La La!, features her lively and spirited text that introduces readers to animals and the noises they make. A quiet final spread begs the little ones and their caregivers to OINK!, SNORT!, QUACK!, and MEOW! in a noisy animal ending.

A cow says MOO.
A sheep says BAA.
Three singing pigs say
LA LA LA!

About the Author

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children’s author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over eighty-five children’s books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 90 million of her books have been sold, “mostly to friends and family,” she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced seven albums of renegade children’s music. Three of her seven albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold) and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has been certified Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed many music videos of her songs, including the award-winning “One Shoe Blues” starring B.B. King, “Alligator Stroll” starring Josh Turner, and “Tyrannosaurus Funk” (animated) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
