The Love Bug

Alicia Acosta & Lucía Serrano

How many noises does anyone need to finally fall asleep?

Mr. Cucumber had a keen ear and couldn’t fall asleep. Back in the city, he was bothered by the horns (honk, hooooonk!), ambulance sirens (Nee-naw, nee-naw, neenaw!) and people talking on the streets (blah, blah, blah, blah). So he moved to the campsite, to a beautiful cottage far away from the urban noises... Little did he know what other noises he would come across!
