The farmyard animals deliberately make each other's noises, and working out who should really be saying what is the whole game. If you'd rather each animal made its own correct sound, this isn't that book — and happily, we have others that are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo — the battery is included and already fitted, so it works straight out of the box.

It's closed with a screw, so it needs a screwdriver to open — not small fingers.
