Book Description
for Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman and Eric Beddows
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
A companion volume to I AM PHOENIX (1985) presents 14 more two voice/choral group poems offering alliteration and image, humor and pathos, fact and reflection. The poems all concern insects from grasshopper and digger wasp to book lice and mayflies. The participatory possibilities are entertaining and challenging. The poems need to be heard to be fully appreciated. (Age 9-adult)
