Why Do I Sing?

Animal Songs of the Pacific Northwest





With a captivating verse and lovely illustration, the songs of the Pacific Northwest animal world are heard and celebrated in this book, from the author and illustrator of the bestselling Where Do I Sleep? (46,000 copies sold).

Animals sing for all kinds of reasons and make all kinds of sounds in the process. The spotted owl sings at night, high above the treetops. A honeybee's buzzing is the sound of summer. And the low voices of fin whales broadcast in the blue Pacific Ocean. In a rhythmic cadence, this richly illustrated celebration of animal calls and noises surveys the region from summit to field to ocean to backyard. The world is alive with song! Why Do I Sing? possesses a beautiful cadence for reading aloud, as it invites us to consider all of the voices in nature.
