by Laura Ellen Anderson
Loud and proud: Whether it's bursting balloons, stomping on stairs, or pretending to be a robot in a rocket ship, the raucous and rowdy star of this picture book lives life at high volume. Can anything convince this clamorous kid that sometimes quiet can be just as fun as loud?
Why kids might like it: Beyond the excitement of shouting along with the rhyming text, kids may also be drawn to the bright and busy illustrations which echo the protagonist's exuberant outlook.
