Noisy Night
by Mac Barnett and Brian Biggs
If urban density is the new watchword of our 21st-century boomtown, perhaps we should all take a look at Barnett and Biggs's unlikely ode to apartment living. Everyone can hear what everyone else is doing in this apartment building, which sounds like a nightmare until you see what they are doing: opera singers la-laing, babies ma-maing, cheerleaders rah-rahing: everyone seems to be having a grand time, except for the old man up top trying to sleep, and things work out just fine for him too in the end. (Ages zero to 4)
