Customer Reviews

Wonderful Book!

My 23 month old daughter LOVES this book - the first time I read it, she wanted to hear it again. I act out all the noises and actions in the book, and she thinks it's a charm. Highly recommended - I love Lisa McCue's illustrations.

Sweet Book

I picked this book up in a bookstore and couldn't leave without it. This book is about Little Noises. Little noises that bunnies, and bees, and babies can make. I love the shift from onomatopoeia to open ended questions that lead the child to make the noises. One reviewer commented that the story reads like a draft. I think it reads like a natural progression of thought and conversation, with no contrived rhythm or rhyme, and I like it that way. My favorite line is "Yes. It was a bumblebee." The illustrations are just Beautiful. I like the contrast between the polish of the surroundings and the scruffiness of the bunny. And I love the lilacs. I just think it's a wonderful, sweet book.

What is McCue?

I bought this absolutely adorable, colorful book for my 16-month-old granddaughter for Easter. The story is delightful and the illustrations fantastic. I do have a question about the book that baffles me. Under the dedication "For Kenny and Richard" in my copy, is the following poem: Search every picture,/ Search and you'll find,/ I've hidden McCUE/ thirteen times. Who or what is McCUE? I have asked my students and several other teachers and none of us can solve the mystery. Can anyone out there help?

We read it over and over the first day we got it!

My almost 2 year old loves this book soooo much! We read it over and over (20+ times) the first day we got it. I make the noises and motions (like "achoo-achoo" for "he sneezed", and scratching his chest for "he scratched") for each of the noises throughout the book. Now my son makes the noises and motions when he "reads" it himself. He has memorized the book so he knows some of the words on each page and he can "read" it himself!! This is a delightful book for children of all ages. A must have for the book loving child.

A must have for your child!

This is a beautiful story of a little bunny who awakens in his rabbit hole to the sounds of the morning. It encourages the childs participation by asking the child to make the noises the little bunny hears. The illustrations by Lisa McCue are just gorgeous! My 17 month old son just loves this book! We read all the time.
