A marmot's peace and quiet gets disturbed by noisy mushroom neighbors in this delightfully zany picture book perfect for fans of Unicorns Are the Worst! and Dragons Love Tacos!
Everyone knows mushrooms are the loudest creatures in the forest. They're why worms go underground and birds have wings--to get away from the noise! Everyone also knows marmots love quiet, especially irritable ones like Monty. All is well until he gets boisterous, cheerful, mushroom neighbors, with their endless mushroom jokes, mushroom poetry, and mushroom songs. What's a marmot to do?Author Biography
