What do our readers think of Mr. Noisy? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)
Children find Mr Noisy funny, especially when the story is read with booming voices and plenty of clomping about. They enjoy acting out the noisy moments and discovering that whispering can be just as entertaining.
What does the Pageticker team say about Mr. Noisy?
Mr Noisy is more classic Hargreaves: bright, simple and gloriously loud. This, we believe, was the sixteenth Mr Men adventure and is especially fun to read aloud, while gently exploring how our behaviour affects other people. The lesson is rather neatly wrapped up - young children will enjoy the booming silliness and even moreso the satisfying turn towards quiet.
