# Why Do I Sing?: Animal Songs of the Pacific Northwest - Hardcover

by **Jennifer Blomgren** (Author), **Andrea Gabriel** (Illustrator)

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.
