Bookroo's summary
Monty the marmot cherishes his quiet life in the forest, but his world is turned upside down when a group of exuberant mushrooms move in next door. With their constant jokes, poetry, and songs, these lively fungi threaten Monty's tranquility. As the noise escalates, Monty faces a dilemma: can he find a way to coexist with his new neighbors, or will he be driven to drastic measures? Discover the hilarity and heart in this whimsical tale of unlikely neighbors and unexpected friendships.
From the publisher
A marmot’s peace and quiet gets disturbed by noisy mushroom neighbors in this delightfully zany picture book perfect for fans of Unicorns Are the Worst! and Dragons Love Tacos! Everyone knows mushrooms are the loudest creatures in the forest. They’re why worms go underground and birds have wings–to get away from the noise! Everyone also knows marmots love quiet, especially irritable ones like Monty. All is well until he gets boisterous, cheerful, mushroom neighbors, with their endless mushroom jokes, mushroom poetry, and mushroom songs. What’s a marmot to do?
