What's that noise? Could it be the creaking of the trees? Or the whistling of the wind? Or the cracking of the ice?

One morning Magnus the seal is wakened by a strange, rumbling sound and he sets off across the Artic plains to ask his friends what could be making the noise.... Hare, Owl, Fox and Polar Bear all try to help, but it is clever Walrus who may have the answer! Set in the Arctic, with beautiful illustrations, this is a funny and delightful picture book - perfect for reading aloud.
