Description

What's that noise Could it be the creaking of the trees Or the whistling of the wind Or the cracking of the ice

One morning Magnus the seal is wakened by a strange, rumbling sound and he sets off across the Artic plains to ask his friends what could be making the noise. Hare, Owl, Fox and Polar Bear all try to help, but it is clever Walrus who may have the answer! Set in the Arctic, with beautiful illustrations, this is a funny and delightful picture book perfect for reading aloud.

Reviews

"Beautiful...the pictures are just perfect and Magnus (which, by the way, is THE best name for a seal) is so wonderfully expressive, you can't help but fall in love."

"A stunning picture book that reads well aloud. It would be a popular addition to any primary school library or classroom."

"Naomi Howarth's gently humorous telling, with its simplicity and repeat pattern, has the feel of a folk tale, while her watercolour illustrations are outstandingly gorgeous."

"A wonderful sharing book, with classic picture book repetition and structure."
