1) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. This is a poetry book that children will enjoy reading aloud. Designed to be read by two people, sometimes simultaneously and other times alternatively. The topics are also ones that children will understand; they are about the actions of real or imaginary insects. For example, the titles of the first six verses are:
*) Grasshoppers
*) Water striders
*) Mayflies
*) Fireflies
*) Book lice
*) The Moth´s Serenade
It is easy to see why this book was the winner of the 1989 Newbery Medal.
¤ 2) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. I am not a poetry person. I like to read it probably more than other people, but I am the type of person that likes to sit back with a good novel that tells a long story.And yet the artist in me was addicted to the beauty of these read-aloud poems. Indeed, they are meant to be read aloud in celebration of the beautiful, natural world around us. Fleischman is a talented poet and certainly as an ear for the harmony that perpetuates his poems.¤ 3) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. Joyful Noise is a very special book of poetry, ideal for two people (probably 12 and older) to read together. In addition, we use it as a guide for creating similar poems ourselves. It´s full of fun!¤ 4) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. "Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices" can be enjoyed by anyone who has an interest in poetry, but I believe it will be a wonderful classroom resource. Literature involves not only novels, but also poetry." Joyful Noise" can be read by the entire class, allowing everyone to participate. The verses can be challenging (and the vocabulary is suited for older students), but it is fun and entertaining to attempt to read them correctly. "Joyful Noise" can also be used across the curriculum. The poems are about insects (I especially love the poem ´Fireflies´), and they would be ideal for integration into science lessons, with children researching an insect from the book. Students could do art after reading one of these poems, creating pictures to describe what they´ve read. Writing skills could be built by allowing students to create their own poems for two voices. Vocabulary could be strengthened by, as a class, looking up the more difficult words and clarifiying everyone´s understanding. All in all, this is a very special book, whether it´s kept for personal enjoyment or is shared with children!¤ 5) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. I´m a sixth grade teacher, and I have Poetry Cafe in my classroom every other weekend during the school year. Joyful Noise is a favorite of the kids in my class every year. It is always the poetry book the kids go for first when they are picking their poems for the week. They love the challenge of reading the poems fluently while still staying "on beat". The poems are beautifully written with rich vocabulary. I highly recommend this book.¤ 6) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. Written to be read aloud by two voices––sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous––here is a collection of irresistible poems that 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 a booming, boisterous, joyful noise. In this remarkable volume of poetry for two voices, Paul Fleischman verbally re–creates the "Booming/boisterious/joyful noise" of insects. The poems resound with the pulse of the cicada and the drone of the honeybee. Eric Beddows´s vibrant drawings send each insect soaring, spinning, or creeping off the page in its own unique way. A clear and fascinating guide to the insect world––from chrysalid butterflies to whirligig beetles–– and an exultant celebration of life. Ages 6+ ¤7) Paperback Book Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by HarperTrophy. Winner of the 1989 Newbery Award, Joyful Noise is a children´s book of poetry about insects that was designed for two readers to enjoy together. On each page are two columns of verse for children to alternate reading aloud 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. Charming large scale soft-pencil illustrations enhance the comical, easy-to-read text.¤ Page Updated: Robert N. Goolsby, 12-Nov-2008, 00644609329780064460934, 240-320-780-880-560-480-161-8
