Books with title Joyful Noise

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, a companion to I Am Phoenix,Paul Fleischman verbally re-creates the "Booming/boisterios/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.Paul Fleischman has created not only a clear and fascinating guide to the insect world -- from chrysalid butterflies to whirligig beetles -- but an exultant celebration of life.

Joyful Noise! is a story of two completely different dogs with completely different personalities who form a strong bond of friendship as they encounter various adventures in their home and neighborhood. Cleo (the well-groomed and refined sheltie) gently teaches her new friend Pepper (a rough and tumble “tomboy” cocker spaniel) the importance and value of forgiveness. The pair of friends interacts with a variety of characters including a charming mouse couple and their family, a mean “bad” dog, two adorable suitors, and a trio of therapy dogs. There are several amusing chases and a couple of harrowing incidents that are sure to draw the reader’s attention along as the two main characters bond and grow. Cleo encourages her young friend Pepper by using many of the lessons she learned from studying her Bible. By example, Cleo shows Pepper the strength in standing on the Word of God.
