The Very Noisy Baby

Description

Here is the story of a very noisy baby. She could bellow like a buffalo. And roar like a lion. And howl like a wolf for a very long time. The baby loves to make all kinds of sounds. She's really very loud.But when some animals in the town go missing, can the very noisy baby help? Find out in this wonderfully boisterous story, full of action, fun (and noise!) from Australia's most-loved picture book creator.

Alison grew up on a farm overlooking the sea and first rode a horse as a baby in her father's arms. She still lives in the country and still rides her horse whenever she can.

In a career spanning decades, Alison Lester has written many books, and won several prestigious awards including the 2005 Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) Picture Book of the Year Award for Are We There Yet? and the 2012 CBCA Eve Pownall Book of the Year Award for One Small Island and in 2018 The Very Noisy Baby was named a CBCA Honour Book for Early Childhood Book of the Year. Alison was Australia's Inaugural Children's Laureate from 2011 to 2013.
