The Little Woman Wanted Noise (New York Review Books Children's Collection)
“Parents may lose [their minds] if they listen to the noises which the book will provoke from enthusiastic readers, but the children will have a raucously good time with it. And those of any age will respond to Robert Lawson’s illustrations, which pictures many familiar details for the young to search out.” —The New York Times “The Little Woman Wanted Noisewas Val Teal's first book. It tells the story of a little woman who lives in the city between a shoemaker and carpenter and below a printer, so it's always noisy…. The book is at base an animal noises book, with each new animal adding a sound to the list.” —Ariel S. Winter,Vintage Kids’ Books My Kids Love
