ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL - ONE OF MY NEW FAVORITES!

There is no doubt that the best indorsement for a children's book is one that is accomplished by children themselves, i.e. do they read and enjoy it. This work gets that indorsement! I have yet to find a kid that did not like it. That being said, I enjoyed this one myself. It is the story of a little shrew that has something very, very important to say. He finds is little voice is completely drowned out but the noise of the world. The moral of the story is that we should "Shhhsh" and listen to the little voices all round us. We might jus learn something. The art work in this one is great, very eye catching and goes perfectly with the story line. I do recommend this one highly...there is a great lesson to be learned here, for both young and old alike!

Kids will relish reading the 'noise words' loudly, from 'thump' to 'bang': be forewarned!

Everyone's talking too loud, moving to fast, and not listening enough. Can a shrew change Life with a simple plea for quiet? He has big things to say, but a very small voice can't compete with the world's racket. Kids will relish reading the 'noise words' loudly, from 'thump' to 'bang': be forewarned!
