About This Book
Crunch, rustle, chirp—what are these sounds sneaking through the air? Rabbit listens closely, both outside under the big blue sky and inside his cozy home, trying to guess who or what is making each noise. Every flap you lift brings you closer to the secret, but can you hear it as clearly as Rabbit does?
