Fish go 'ome?'


I bought three new books for Beth and they are all about animals and the sounds they make. There is one about farm animals, this one has all the animals and sounds that you would expect, except a pig that goes 'snore snore snore'? The wild animal book includes lions that 'roar', flamingos that 'onk' and warthogs that 'squee' and the pet animal book covers the sounds of cats, dogs, guinea-pigs, rabbits...it all makes sense until we get to the goldfish. What sound does a goldfish make!?!?!? Apparently, according to the author Alison Lester a goldfish goes splish splash splish..... which is quite a cute noise and it fits in nicely with the rhyme the author is creating in the book. However this is where Dave piped up and said " Fish don't make that noise they go 'ome'" (pronounced home, but drop the h - like they do in Coro) and he is dead right. Try it!
So what sound does a snail make?
