Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices


Joyful Noise, written by Paul Fleischman, is a children's book of poetry about insects.  Each poem is designed for two readers to enjoy together; there are two columns of verse for children to alternate reading aloud.  The poems are about the lives of six-legged creatures ranging from fireflies writing in the sky to a love affair between two lice, crickets eating pie crumbs and the single day in the life of a mayfly.

Marcus and Lella look forward to reading these poems aloud each day.  One of the poems even had me in tears, as it was so beautifully written. 

Enjoy!
