Raggety-Taggle the rabbit feels left out when he hears all the Cook-a-Doodle-Do!, Baa!, Oink Oink! and the rest from the farmyard. Surely there is a noise that rabbits can make? But when Ragggety-Taggle tries making a noise it has disastrous results! A lovely outdoors book that celebrates being quiet.
As the sun came up, "e;COCK-A-DOODLE-DO!"e; trumpeted the rooster, and then all at once the farm rang out with the noises of the other animals. Amid the ruckus, Raggety-Taggle quietly nibbled the grass and wondered just what noise does a rabbit make?
