The person who wrote a review before used lots of fancy words, and I'm sort of worried that people might not understand what he was trying to say, so I'm going to translate: Mr. Noisy is a person who loves to be really loud, and I mean REALLY loud. However, most people don't like being shouted at, so when Mr. Noisy talks to someone, they usually take it the wrong way. Mr. Noisy's loud voice can cause problems, such as this: The butcher and the grocer don't like Mr. Noisy shouting all the time, so they refuse to give him his food until he quiets down. In the end, Mr. Noisy has to learn to be quieter if he's going to get what he wants. However, this is incredibly hard for Mr. Noisy, because it's in his nature to be noisy.

I've bought a few of the Mr. Men books for my son as I grew up reading them when I was his age, growing up in the UK. I find that a lot of the really good children's books are 10, 15, and 30 years old. A lot of the new books are books about nothing. Nobody gets offended but the tree that died to produce a boring inferior work. Anyway....

Mr. Noisy is a really noisy person (a big round red blob with hands, feet and eyes) who is rude to Mr. Butcher and Mrs. Baker (who are an item??;)). They then get together and conspire to change Mr. Noisy's rude and noisy ways by simply pretending they are deaf. After going to bed hungry (and with a little more encouragement) Mr. Noisy changes his brash ways and everyone is happy. Don't you love those happy endings?!

I enjoyed the Mr. Men books as a child and was pleased to see they had been republished now that I have a 4 year old son of my own. Mr. Noisy is the best of the bunch, in my mind. It's great fun to get loud with Mr. Noisy and SCREAM REAL LOUD THAT I'D LIKE A PIECE OF MEAT. And it is just as much fun to whisper - something Mr. Noisy tries for once in his life to good result. Get in character and have some great fun reading this book with your kids!

MY son absolutley loves when we read this book!! He loves to pretend he is Mr. Noisy himself and clomp around the room as I read to him!!

My boys love this book. We ahve about a dozen of these books and Mr Noisy is by far the favorite. It is has a great reminder that we don't have to be noisy all the times, sometimes we can even whisper!

I am an elementary teacher and I use these books in my class to supplement our Character Ed program (which isn't the greatest). My students love the Little Miss and Mr. Men books. I have to keep them behind my desk and let them "check them out" like library books or they fight over them. The are excellent to use in a pinch if you have a book that pertains to a problem that has developed in class (especially rudeness or bossiness). It is easy to read the book and have a quick class chat about what is going on. I highly recommend all of the books for anyone who teaches, home schools, or children in general. They are a great asset.

Like the rest of the Mr. Men and Little Miss books, this book is adorable! My son loves it!

This fantastic novella details the wild adventures and journeys of one Mr. Noisy in his desperate attempts to obtain sustenance from those who would begrudge his powerful vocal cords. Replete with vibrant motifs and a stunning denouement, the reader is swept on a thrilling ride through Wobbletown and is given a rare glimpse into the lives of its inhabitants. Sometimes charming, sometimes disturbing, but always unmistakably human, the residents of Wobbletown present us with a microcosm which could (lo, should) be a paradigm for a society of any scale which strives to build itself upon a foundation of decency. In his relentless quest for the highly symbolic loaf of bread and piece of meat, Mr. Noisy will be forced to face not just the prejudices of Mrs. Crumb and Mr. Bacon, but also the repressed demons of a torturous childhood whose indelible scars will define both Mr. Noisy and his eternal quest for self-betterment. Seemingly doomed from page one by his boisterous h! ubris, Mr. Noisy will stun and delight the reader with his unlikely triumphs over the most inexorable opponent of all, Nature.
