    Sheep

    Sheep say baa. Their woolly coats are cut every year to make warm clothes.

Tips for playing with little ones

  • Ages 3–4: play side by side. Read the question aloud (or tap the speaker) and let your child point.
  • Make the sounds together: woof like a dog, baa like a sheep, hoot like an owl, then find the picture.
  • Ages 5–6: talk about where each animal lives: on a farm, in the forest, in the jungle or near a pond.
  • Ages 7–8: ask why animals make sounds: to call their family, to warn others or to say “this is my place”.
