Muffin is a dog who's eyes are bandaged for a day because he had a cinder in one of them. The story is a bit dated by this and also by horses on the street. While I appreciate using only your sense of hearing to connect to the world, I worry about young children worrying about Muffin not being able to see; I realize I may be overly concerned.

The pictures are very colorful and simple and the story is very much in keeping with the Bank Street School's insistence on telling realistic stories that children can immediately relate to. Still, the two-page spresds of pictures of a train engine and of a fire truck are captivating. ( )

A book of clever repetition and noise. The imagery tells it's age, but charms for sure.

This is said to be a great read-a-loud and the noise components surly rule with a group of children, but it is quite long and might prove difficult if done during a storytime (would need some practice and attention to the noises).

The book is about a dog whom travels through the city seeing and hearing different sounds.
