From the author/illustrator team that brought you the brilliant The Nose, Toes and Tummy Book comes another superb interactive picture book for the very young.
From the opening pages inviting us to open the gate to the very NOISY house, and the garden full of very noisy creatures, to the music room, echo room and spooky cellar, every page is full of opportunities for youngsters to join in and make a huge range of sounds and noises.
It’s not just that there are fun sounds to make throughout, there so much to find and name in Gosia Herba’s stylish, eye-catching illustrations too.
Prepare to jump when the door opens to reveal a lion, and to giggle in the silly room, before finally – and quietly – snuggling down in the bedroom. The concept is beautifully simple but so cleverly executed, making this house one children and their parents will want to visit over and over again.
Welcome to The Very Noisy House! Knock on the door - RAT-A-TAT-TAT - and let's see what's inside . . . In this noisy adventure jam-packed full of sounds, you'll make your way through the mixed-up room (where elephants say baa!), down into the spooky cellar (look out for the ghost!), through the super-quiet secret passageway (shhh, whispering only!) . . . and if you're feeling brave, you could even try opening that grrrrrowling cupboard.
