In this beloved classic, Muffin the little dog wakes with his eyes bandaged and begins to experience the world through sound alone. Each page invites readers to guess the source of a new noise—from buzzing bees and ticking clocks to clanging garbage cans and honking horns—creating an engaging, sensory-rich journey. Margaret Wise Brown’s rhythmic, repetitive text captures a child’s curiosity, while Leonard Weisgard’s bold, colorful illustrations bring each sound vividly to life. As the first title in the Noisy Book series, this timeless picture book encourages young readers to listen closely to the world around them.
