Smile Cry’s Piglet, Bunny and Cat return in a sensory adventure. From watching ‘squiggly rain’ on a window to pointing out ‘heavenly horses’ in the clouds, from hearing the ‘buzzing blossoms’ of bees at work to ‘hot pan sizzles’ as a favourite meal is prepared, See Hear invites us to open our eyes and ears to the everyday magic that surrounds us.

This innovative flip-format picture book is a sequel to the best-selling and CBCA Notable Book for 2017, Smile Cry.

Piglet, Bunny, and Cat return in a charming, whimsical sensory adventure that encourages kids to explore the multitude of ways that they can engage with the world around them, particularly via the senses of sight and sound.

From watching ‘squiggly rain’ on a window to pointing out ‘heavenly horses’ in the clouds, from hearing ‘buzzing blossoms’ as bees collect pollen and nectar to ‘hot pan sizzles’ as a favourite meal is prepared, See Hear invites us to open our eyes and ears to the everyday magic that surrounds us.

Younger kids will respond to the soft whimsical illustrations, while older readers will enjoy the onomatopoeic wordplay. Perfect for ages 3 and upwards, this is a book that will captivate children and parents alike.
