Reece Give Me Some Peace!

Illustrated by Nancy Bevington

Published by Big Sky Publishing, in hardback

For newborns - 5 years.

Reece is a very cheeky, curious young boy who loves making NOISE (er, music?). There are lots of interesting clangs, bangs and thumps coming from his room, that only seem to get louder. Will his mother ever get any peace?

Love the sound - and title!! - of this. Congrats again Sonia!
