The Very Noisy Baby - Book & Rattle Gift Set

In a little pink house on the edge of the town lived a baby who made some unusual sounds. She could bellow like a buffalo, roar like a lion, and howl like a wolf for a very long time.

The baby certainly makes a lot of noise, but can she help when some animals go missing? Find out in this rollicking story, full of action and fun, from a much-loved picture-book creator. This special gift set includes a delightful story to share and treasure, and a soft rattle for all very noisy babies to enjoy.
