Press & Blog Reviews
There are certain presents that most parents think twice about giving their offspring: chemistry sets, cuddly toys that 'talk', and glittery hair colour that isn't quite as temporary as it says on the can. The reasons are obvious. But child-free friends and godparents who need have no fear of tit-for-tat gift-giving generally have no such qualms – this board book from Usborne is for them. Push the buttons and you are rewarded by the sound of a digger, a fire engine, a bicycle bell, a noisy café and so on. It's quite irritating the first time round and it gets worse. But here's the thing: children will love it – and they'll love you, too. And eventually you'll go home and the long-suffering parents can hide the thing.

My lot just love the alternative to Usborne's famous yellow rubber duck house-style, where they use Fimo models to depict a 3D world with an illustrative style instead.
Families Magazine
A wonderfully simple sight and sounds book perfect for growing minds in a multi-ethnic city like London. The sound of a bicycle bell can be experienced in Noisy Town, alongside sounds belonging to fire engines, cars and jackhammers, and illustrations depicting a variety of characters from a range of backgrounds.
London Cyclist
Noisy Town has lots of sounds for toddlers. From chattering people to chiming clocks and police sirens, all the noises of a busy town centre are here.
Sunday Express 'S' Magazine
This delightfully noisy tab book has 8 lifelike sounds which combined with illustrations, models and words make this book an interactive pre-school classic.
