The strikingly original Newbery Medal–winning poetry collection from author Paul Fleishman (Seedfolks), now with a fresh new cover design. From the Newbery Medal–winning author of Seedfolks, Paul Fleischman, Joyful Noise is a collection of irresistible poems that celebrates the insect world and is written for two voices. Funny, sad, loud, and quiet, each of these poems resounds with a booming, boisterous, joyful noise. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. They can be fully appreciated by an individual reader, but they’re particularly striking when read aloud by two voices, making this an ideal pick for classroom use. Eric Beddows’s vibrant drawings send each insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own unique way. With Joyful Noise, Paul Fleischman created not only a fascinating guide to the insect world but an exultant celebration of life. Age Range: 8 - 12 years Paperback: 64 pages Publisher: HarperCollins (June 18, 2019) ISBN-13: 978-0064460934
