"Sssh! Listen, what's that noise?" A child gives a tour of his or her home, pointing out the sounds that surround us yet largely escape our notice--the burbling of a coffeepot, a whirring laptop, etc. The text incorporates copious sound effects in a lighter font, a visual reminder of the home's sonic landscape; illustrations feature bright greens, reds, and yellows, recalling the iconic decor of Goodnight Moon.
