'Screeches and snarls,

'And hisses in trees,

'What kinds of monsters

'Makes noises like these?

'The animals in the bush are scared! Something is making terrible noises - is it snake making that hissing? Is a bear making that growling sound? Can you hear an evil goblin snoring? Help! – a giant is roaring!

'Larry Lyrebird finally confesses that he is making all the noises with his mimicking ability. The animals forgive him on one condition:

'‘You’re a wonderful mimic’, the animals said,

‘Though we have to make it quite plain,

'Come live with us, we’ll all be your friends,

'But you must never scare us again!’

'Bright, vibrant illustrations will make this book a must for children.

'At the back of the book there is information about the lyrebird in lively, illustrated, accessible text. Learn why it is called a lyrebird, which has the fancier tail, how they build their nests and where they live. ' (Publication summary)
