The Noisy Book Treasury by Margaret Brown (9780486780283)

Description - The Noisy Book Treasury by Margaret Brown

From a jangling phone to a gentle breeze, these stories explore sounds both sharp and subtle. Caldecott award winners Margaret Wise Brown - author of the childhood classic Goodnight Moon - and illustrator Leonard Weisgard present three poetic and winsomely illustrated tales that introduce young readers to the everyday wonders of sound. The Noisy Book explores a world of hissing radiators and buzzing flies through the ears of Muffin, a little dog with bandaged eyes. In The Indoor Noisy Book, Muffin listens from his room at the top of the stairs to a sweeping broom, rattling silverware, a gushing faucet, and other household sounds. And in The Quiet Noisy Book, Muffin hears the softest sounds of all, from a butterfly unfolding its wings to an early bird catching a worm. AGES: 7 to 10 AUTHOR: Margaret Wise Brown (191052) is the creator of the children's classic Goodnight Moon. A prolific author of stories for young readers and listeners, she transformed the traditional approach to picture-book narratives with her unique ability to see the world through a child's eyes. Writer and artist Leonard Weisgard (19162000) collaborated with Margaret Wise Brown on other books, including the winner of the 1947 Caldecott Medal, Little Lost Lamb.
