Ruby Roars

by Margaret Wild, Kerry Argent (Illustrator)

When she was a baby, Ruby liked making popping noises with her dummy. "Pop! Pop! Pop!" When she was older, she tried making scary noises instead. "Scrrr! Screekle! Scrunch!" But she couldn't frighten anyone, not a frog, not a fish. "Shivers!" thought Ruby. What was the scariest noise she could make? And she opened her mouth wide to find out.

Reviews

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely book to read aloud with silly voices.

[Lex Redding · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fun noisy book, with gorgeous illustrations of little Tassie devils. Bonus points for donating some of their proceeds to the Save the Tasmanian Devil Appeal.

[Freddie D · Rating 4 out of 5]

A real underrated winner from this iconic Australian duo. With lots of incredible onomatopoeic words, it's truly a delight to read aloud.
