What's That Noise?

Description

What's That Noise? invites young children to investigate who exactly is calling them from inside the book. Children will delight in following the clues by "tip-toeing" with their fingers through an empty forest, braving a terrible storm, holding their ear up to the book to discern where to turn next, and creating a shelter when danger looms. A story that can only be told using fingers, eyes, ears, and noses, What's That Noise? engages readers on all levels, and shows that building a friendship takes time, patience, and an adventurous spirit.

Isabel Minh\u00f3s Martins and Madalena Matoso are the creators of multiple award-winning books for children.

"A graphic design tour de force that coaxes young readers into a voyage of discovery. "-- "School Library Journal" "The clever use of shapes and instructions will keep young readers involved from beginning to end, puzzling out the source of the supposed voice--although endpapers offer a big hint. Little fingers are encouraged to, among other things, walk, tiptoe, and drum-roll. There are also two vocalizing opportunities--and, yes, a chance to use the nose. Fingers will move over shapes representing a forest, rivers, and the dark: a black double-page spread with two round, white shapes. Are those eyeballs?! For optimal use, no more than three at a time should share this book, unless desiring chaotic silliness. More engaging fun than many higher-tech devices."-- "Kirkus"
