Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: A lost classic from the illustrator of The Story of Ferdinand and Mr. Popperâs Penguins.
CLANG! THUMP! WHOOSH! BANG! The big city is a noisy place.
But the little woman doesnât mind, the big city is her home. Then one day she is given a wonderful gift, a âpleasant, peaceful farmâ in the country. The farm is nearly perfectâonly with all the quiet, the little woman canât relax.
So she buys a cow, she buys a dog, a cat and a duck, a rooster, a pig. Now the farm is noisy indeed. Still, somethingâs missing. She decides to return to the city for that one special thing she knows will make her farm feel just like home. And by the end of her tale the little woman is happy to find that even though she has no rest, she has peace of mind.
Published only seven years after The Story of Ferdinand, The Little Woman Wanted Noise shows Robert Lawson at the peak of his talent and contains some of the most stunning and innovative black-and-white drawings in all of American picture-book history. They are the joyous accompaniment to Val Tealâs story, which reminds us that a life without a little chaos is no life at all.
