Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices

Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman, illustrated by Eric Beddows

Joyful Noise was written to be read aloud by two voices - sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous. This collection of irresistible poems celebrate the insect world, from the short life of the mayfly to the love song of the book louse. Funny, sad, loud, and quiet... each of these poems resounds with booming, boisterous, joyful noise. This book is a perfect compliment to a unit study of insects!
