What's That Noise?

By Charlie Higson
Illustrated by Nadia Shireen

About The Book
The first picture book from bestsellers Charlie Higson and Nadia Shireen is a raucously LOUD and anarchic story about the joy of making as much noise as you possibly can - and getting away with it!​

One day, Bob finds a box, big enough to hide in. And from inside the box, Bob makes as much noise as he possibly can with anything that comes to hand, only falling silent to baffle any curious passersby.​

​Packed with rhythm, sublime silliness and the mysteriously irresistible joy of a simple cardboard box, this hilarious book has terrific child appeal!​
