The Noisy Giants' Tea Party

 

The Noisy Giants’ Tea Party is an exhilarating, zany, and totally original urban lullaby. This is a most impressive picture-book debut for a remarkable artist.

— Maurice Sendak

 

Andrew’s been tucked in for the night, but outside his window the city is still wide awake. Taxis roar by, a garbage truck is crunching trash, fire engines wail. Amid all the racket, Andrew tosses and turns, never suspecting that the Noisy Giants are about to invite him to the weirdest tea party ever, where party crashers really crash and musical chairs are anything but musical.

 

As one of the Noisy Giants says: “Mice are quiet, my boy. We are loud!”
