Rumble Grumble ... Hush

In a spare, lyrical text, young listeners and readers will follow a little boy through his day, from early morning till bedtime, and watch as what fills his active imagination becomes real. Toys grow to life-size- a tin monkey plays a real drum and fiddle-- rat-a-tat, toot! --a stuffed lion roars-- rumble, grumble --and a dump truck empties its load-- BANG! But when quiet time comes, and a hush settles over his bedroom, animals nap, and the boy becomes absorbed in other activities, like reading and drawing. Here is an irresistible read-aloud by a picture-book master that captures all the joy of a child's play, and renders a boy's imagination real.
