‘In a little pink house on the edge of the town
lived a baby who made some unusual sounds.
She could bellow like a buffalo, roar like a lion,
and howl like a wolf for a very long time.’
The baby certainly makes a lot of noise, but can she help when some animals go missing?
Find out in this rollicking story, full of action and fun, from a much-loved picture-book creator.
This special lift-the-flap edition will delight little ones as they lift the flaps to discover who is making all the noise.
