Ruby Roars

Description

When she was a baby, Ruby liked making popping noises with her dummy. "Pop! Pop! Pop!" When she was older, she tried making scary noises instead. "Scrrr! Screekle! Scrunch!"

"Beware, this story could provoke a wild rumpus." --"Magpies" "Like Wild's "Our Granny" (1993), this is a story filled with movement and physical affection. The lap-sit audience will love the squishy, lumpy sounds and the repetition of the text as they point to the animals in the clear, bright pictures." --"Booklist" on "Kiss Kiss!"
