BANG!
CRACKLE!
BOO!
Just like there are lots of quiets, there are also lots of louds:
Good louds
(HOORAY!)
and bad louds
(CRASH!)
And louds that make you feel like you are
the center of attention (BURP!).
The Loud Book compiles all these kid-friendly noises
from morning to night,
in a way that is sure to make readers
CHEER!
This delightful book explores all the noises in a child’s day:
- A Perfect Read Aloud: The simple text is filled with fun sounds like a CRASH! and a BURP! that are perfect for sharing and making noise together during story time.
- Exploring Sounds: A wonderful introduction to onomatopoeia that helps kids notice the world of noises all around them, from a booming home run to a quiet cricket.
- Relatable Moments: This book celebrates everyday kid experiences, from the surprising oops of a dropped lunch tray to the triumph of a loud HOORAY!
- Gentle Lessons: With humor, it opens a door to talk about different kinds of sounds and the feelings that go with them, like why some louds are good and some are not.
