""Book Lice" (? I think that's its name...) is my favorite poem in here. All the poems are fun to read and none of them give me squirmies as a non-bug person. :)"
"Joyful Noise (1989 Newbery Winner) is a delightful volume of poems about insects, meant to be read aloud by two readers. If I were a teacher I would be sure to find a way to work this one into the classroom! I especially loved the romance between two book lice (one loves classics and the other mysteries)."
"I listened to this on audiotape, then I read the poems, and then I listened to the audiotape again. It's amazing to hear the poems read aloud, in two voices, converging, diverging, making a strong statement by reading a line in unison.
The poems are all about insects. The illustrations are lovely pen-and-ink drawings. I want to get the audiobook for my library and find a way to use it with the students."
"What an enchanting book! I had so mush fun reading these inventive poems with my little sisters. This collections of poem could easily become a family favorite. It truly is a joyful noise to hear two voices reading the poems as one."
