Inspired by the author’s cat, A Noisy Day for Meow Meow is about a particularly noisy day in the life of Meow Meow. Through expressive drawings, a funny story told in rhymes that mimic the sounds of everyday objects, it teaches young readers how to identify different sounds around the house.

This is the second in a series of three books by award-winning poet Felix Cheong that teaches children everyday concepts. The first book, A Busy Day for Meow Meow, relates time to everyday activities like play and meals. The third book A Playful Day for Meow Meow, teaches children how to use prepositions to describe movement.
