About
With slurps and splashes and hoots and growls, some very noisy neighbours make their presence known. Plans for a peaceful retreat in the woods are disturbed when a new cabin-owner meets her very noisy neighbours. Animal hijinks abound in this playful, phonically rich story. Eager for some peace and quiet, the main character of this tale in verse moves to the woods and builds a little cabin getaway. She's found the perfect retreat-or so she thinks until she meets her neighbours: an array of loud and lively creatures who crunch and crack and hoot their way into her life. Young listeners will delight in the animals' playful antics and learn a bit about life in the wild.
