    Give a CHEER for Deborah Underwood’s ‘The LOUD Book’

    0
    By Jessica on April 7, 2011 ages 4 & up, picture books

    “THE LOUD BOOK,” by Deborah Underwood, illustrated by Renata Liwska, Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, April 4, 2011, $12.99 (ages 4-8)

    Just like there are lots of reasons to be quiet, there are lots of reasons to be loud!

    Enter “The LOUD Book,” a companion novel to Deborah Underwood’s “The Quiet Book.”

    Lots of things are loud — alarm clocks, last slurps, old cars, burps, fire trucks, dropping a lunch tray — you name it. Sometime loud is welcome — applause or cheering a home run. Sometimes loud isn’t the best — spilling marbles in the library or a snoring sister.

    From morning to night, “The LOUD Book” chronicles all the above noises and more a kid might hear during their day. Each page features a noise with a corresponding illustration.

    Kids will have fun imitating these loud noises in real life, and they’re sure to giggle at the delightful artwork that accompanies them.

    Whether it’s a BANG, CRACK, BURP or SLURP youngsters will no doubt CHEER for this energetic and humorous book about the sounds that surround us.
