When I "read" it, I had a box marked "From the Zoo" (as if the kids could read it) and I would just say the same line over and over again:

Noisy Farm by Rod Campbell - Pan Macmillan Noisy Farm by Rod Campbell - Pan Macmillan

But this book has a delightful extra feature. It is a “noisy” book! And I can assure you (because I’ve done this myself) that if you accidentally sit on it, you will find that it might trumpet at you, or chatter like a monkey, or even (and this is a bit scary if you’re not expecting it!) even hiss like a snake! months later this is still a firm favorite with my niece, who wanted it read three times before bed. She has memorized it now, and certainly knows the name of all the animals, but seems to enjoy pretending to not know them. If I ask, "What do you think is in this cage?" and she knows it is a lion, she'll say "Giraffe!" and when we get to the giraffe she'll insist it's a kitty, and that sort of thing. Two-year-olds are quite contrary. Could you write a sequel to the book, which involves someone asking for something but each time they receive a gift, there is something ‘wrong’ with it? Children will love lifting the flaps to discover their favourite farm animals and their babies in Noisy Farm. Meet Sam the farm dog, visit the animals and don't forget to join in by calling out their noises! Find out about the final animal that was sent by the zoo. Make a poster to teach others how to look after it.There is a reason this book has been in print for some 25 years and counting.
