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?

"This hits the same playful edginess of Klassen’s works, so when youngsters have read and reread I Want My Hat Back (BCCB 11/11), point them here." -- BCCB

"The comic timing of Petty is impeccable, and digital goofy cartooning by Chapman (Seals Are Jerks!) aptly captures the barely contained chaos of a forest on the brink." -- Publishers Weekly

"The rhyming song that the mushrooms sing is an especially funny touch, and readers will cheer as the fungi get their comeuppance at last.

Certain to deliver giggles aplenty." -- Kirkus Reviews
