Review # 1 was written on 2018-02-06 00:00:00 Liz Cooper This one was really good! Given my dislike of too much noise, I wondered what this round be about my new GR friend, Dorine, has a lot of good kids books on her list, and I have enjoyed seeking them out. It's fun finding books so easily at my library from friends book lists on the other side of the world! Reminiscent of 'My cat likes to hide in boxes' this is a building, rhyming and repetitive tale that I could have fun with speed, tone, fun voices and general silliness. I seem to do this easily! Of course it makes reading fun for Indy (5). Peter finds the everyday noises of his little house rather annoyingly loud. The swish of the leaves, the ring of the kettle. After several visits to the wise man of the village, Peter is told to get many many noisy animals. Why would this be so. A sweet tale, written many years ago; our copy was very yellow. It struck me as a book about mindfulness in a way. Years before it became a thing. Indy loved it, we will read it many more times. Lucky my loans at work extend forever! The illustrations engaged him in the story, also, which shows he's using all the features of a book leading to learning to read. Thanks Dorine for showing me some quality books!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-12-30 00:00:00 Goldie Litton This is another well-worn paperback with a sing-song rhythm that my granddaughters enjoy. By seven and eight, it was easy for them to read themselves as well. We took turns reading it to each other this year. I have the 15th printing from 1975 - another one from my family's childhood collection.
