From Kirkus Reviews:
With several innovative, photo-illustrated concept books to their credit (How Many?, 1993), this British team is moving right up there with such masters of the genre as Bruce McMillan and Margaret Miller. Here, preschoolers are shown with live animals and toys representing familiar things that make a wide variety of sounds: pets, including a mouse and a hamster; things that go; machines; babies; more. Five sounds are given on each spread. One is featured on the verso (``What noise does Grace's alarm clock make?''); the recto extends the idea (``more clocks'': ``ticktock''; ``DONG!''; ``cuckoo!''; ``beep-beep,'' with styles including a digital watch). The candid color photos of a multicultural bunch of vibrant little children are splendidly natural and appealing. A simple concept, developed with unusual creativity and style.

From Booklist:
Ages 1-4. Energy, imagination, and a keen sense of what's important in a child's world charge the colorful double-page spreads of this kid's-eye view of noises. Each left-hand page leads with a question, such as "What noise does Samuel's dog make?" The answer appears with an engaging photo of the boy and his pup while the opposite page features more pets and their sounds. This same format continues throughout the book, with toddlers and preschoolers pictured with musical instruments, clocks, and, of course, toys of all kinds--plush animals, miniature model vehicles, and play appliances. The final query--"What noise does Daniel's baby sister make?"--offers candid images of laughing, cooing, crying, and sleeping babies to conclude this lively addition to a series that includes What's Inside? (1990), What Color? (1991), What Shape? (1992), and How Many? (1993). Ellen Mandel
