Logline:
Peter's house is noisy and the wise man of the village has a plan to change that.
London:
I like the illustrations because they are that monochromatic orange, keeping to one color scheme.
Ben:
Talk about taking the long way around! Animals abound and then - pow! - suddenly you don't mind three of the most annoying noises of all time: Creaking bed, squeaking floor and the leaves falling on the roof. I mean, really. This is one of those books where everything is repeated and the effect is, in effect, the very matter of life: Do it til its done, no matter how much barnyard you gotta bring in.
What it would be like to be in this book:
"If I were Peter, I'd just get the cat and the dog and be satisfied", posits London. Ben, however, would probably just say never mind when the wise man of the village suggested he get all those animals and, instead, ask if he could borrow one of sed wise man's books.
