A baby in a stroller sleeps as the loud city noises (from ten horns beeping to two motorbikes roaring) surround it. That is, until a pesky chirp of one sparrow causes the baby to gleefully awake. The colorful illustrations throughout add a humorous, but accurate look at how the city beeps, toots, thumps and more. City and country children alike will enjoy counting backwards and learning about the hustle and bustle of city life.
