Summary/Back cover:
Who is making that noise? Is it really those noisy boys?  You can find out by lifting the flaps in this charmingly illustrated book.

Simple rhyming text makes this book a pleasure to read aloud, and young children will enjoy joining in with the boys as they proclaim their innocence.

Children will also enjoy finding the little white mouse and Stephen Cartwright's yellow duck on every double page.


Review:
Lift-the-flap books are always a hit, but this one is a particular favourite with both my 2.5 year old and my 8 month old.  Different animals are hiding on each page, and each animal is making a different sound (banging with a pot lid, tooting on a trumpet, etc).  A very noisy book to read, but a lot of fun!  Keep the cellotape handy though, as I find that, with noise, comes boisterousness and accidentally ripped flaps!

My rating: 4 out of 5.
