the noisy book


by Soledad Bravi
Board Book
Gecko Press - $24.99

With over 100 pages, this unique boardbook is full of bright, bold illustrations and lots of noises to make.
It’s perfect to share with a baby or toddler. I reckon it is the ultimate board book.





The owl goes hoo hoo
The cat goes meow
The raindrop goes plop
The door goes knock knock
The baby goes waaaaa
Daddy goes shhh
The kiss goes mwahh

A huge seller in France, Germany and Italy - now available in English for the first time

Julia Marshall, publisher, says:

‘Even with limited words, this book has surprises. It’s fun to read aloud, unpredictable and makes me laugh every time. For me, that’s one of the signs of a great book. ‘It repeats sounds and sound families (like hoo-hoo, oo-oo-oo and cuckoo). I like how the sound of a can of spinach is “yuck”.’

About the author/illustrator:Soledad Bravi was born in 1965 in Paris. She has worked as an artistic director in advertising before returning to drawing. Today she is the author of many books and draws for French Elle magazine.
