It's a lovely book to share, with bold, busy pictures offering lots of chances for small readers to pick out noise-words and follow the size cues to make loud and quiet noises. It could be used in class, gently introducing a chat about differences between people and we can all get along, or as easily just read as a simple, happy story.
- Writeaway
A very simple concept is turned into something approaching a little gem through illustrations which capture animals and humans, investing them with character and likeability, and minimal text, which, in variety of size and disposition on the pages, physically plays a part in showing readers what is going on.
- Books for Keeps
Good fun to read aloud.
