Can Anybody Hear Me? by Jessica Meserve

Meserve, Jessica. Can Anybody Hear Me? 28 pgs. Clarion Books, 2008. $16.00.

Jack’s family is very loud and they don’t listen very well. So when Jack tells them he’s going up the mountain, no one hears. Jack takes his best friend Chester (stuffed animal) and climbs the mountain. Jack sees a wolf cub alone and howls to let the mama wolf know where to find him. Then Jack meets a bear and Chester tells him to growl and scare the bear away. A fun story about the importance of listening, kids will love to howl and growl with Jack. The western illustrations are charming.
