Synopsis

It's tough being the middle mouse. No one's paying any attention to Nora, so she decides to do something her family can't ignore: make noise. Nora slams windows, bangs doors, and upsets furniture, to no avail. It's not until she crashes out the door--and the house goes strangely silent--that her family realizes: a noisy Nora is much better than no Nora at all."A wonderful story." --Booklist

About this title

Review:

Rosemary Wells' tales of animals with very human problems make her a favourite from the board-book years on. Now one old Wells' friend, Nora, that noisy mouse, returns with all her middle- child problems still on display. What's a mouse to do when little brother and big sister take up all mum and dad's time? Yup. Plenty of noise. Look at these new pictures and you can almost hear the racket. With all that clatter, it might be better to read this one before dinner, not before bed!

From the Back Cover:

"Quiet!" said her father. "Hush!" said her mum. "Nora!" said her sister, "Why are you so dumb?"

However much noise Nora makes, she can't get any attention! With a baby brother who needs constant care, and an older sister who gets to do the fun things, her mum and dad are far too busy to notice her. Well, if noise doesn't work, perhaps Nora's new plan will...

A classic, award-winning book about the frustrations of being a middle child, by the creator of over fifty picture books for children.
