Owl declares Duck in danger, and Pig is convinced that only a monster would make such a sound. Soon Wolf and clever Owl are added to the group, and the noise has gotten much longer and more menacing. The porker goes to fetch Bear, who is strong, and tells of the sound. She calls from her window to Pig and tells him about the scary "pshh pshh, grrr!" sound. Appropriate for ages 3-5.PreSchool-Grade 2-When Duck awakens to the sound of "pshh pshh!" coming from under her bed, she is too afraid to look. This is also a great Halloween read for the youngest listeners. The illustrations are very friendly with small touches like Wolf’s record player and Owl’s newspaper that add to the gentleness of the story.Ī great book to mix into a monster story time just for the effect of the lack of a monster. The build up of the noise from one animal to the next demonstrates the problems with getting news through the grapevine and how things can be blown way out of proportion! Even if children do not get this lesson from the book, it is a fun comedy of errors for them to enjoy. This book has just the right amount of tension for young children to get involved but not alarmed. The four animals returned to Duck’s house with supplies to fight the monster, but it is not a monster they find under Duck’s bed! It’s a tiny mouse snoring quietly with a pshh pshh sound.
Wolf was told about the noise that had gotten even more complicated by that point, and he suggested that they find someone smart to deal with it. When he found Bear, he told Bear that the noise was pshh pshh Bang Bang! Bear suggested they find someone loud enough to deal with the noise that was being made and they went to find Wolf. Pig ran to get someone stronger than he to deal with it. Yelling out of her window, Duck called to Pig and told him what she had heard. So instead she jumped out of bed and ran to get help. Duck did not know what it was and was too scared to look under the bed. Duck is awoken early in the morning by a strange sound coming from under her bed.
