Bookroo's summary

Peter is fed up with the constant noise in his home. Desperate for a solution, he turns to the village wise man, who offers an unusual remedy. As Peter follows the advice, he discovers a surprising lesson in perspective. Will he find the peace he craves, or will the chaos only grow? This humorous tale invites readers to reconsider what truly makes a house feel like home.

From the publisher

Peter thinks his house is noisy until the village wise man teaches him a lesson in perspective. “A simple repetitive tale, equally suitable for noisy participation and for settling down to a very quiet dream.’” – Kirkus Reviews
