The book is designed to help toddlers identify wild animals (from the zoo) and the noises they make. It features a polar bear, a lion, a hippopotamus, a flamingo, a zebra, a boa constrictor, an elephant, a leopard, a peacock, a walrus, a zoo keeper and some children.

This is a companion book to Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, published by Carle and Martin in 1967,[1] replacing the earlier text's colours and common animals with sounds and less common animals.
