It’s not that it didn’t fit, it’s just that I was so into the sounds that the actual words seemed to interrupt the sonic adventure. I will say sometimes the text felt inserted and odd. There are some rhymed lines of text that usually end in a sound. We tend to prioritize what we can see so closing your eyes and listening can show you a lot of other things you hadn’t noticed. I actually think this is an interesting activity and something that would be a lot of fun with a small group of kids or with your own child.
It’s also a fun look around the little boy’s neighborhood and may encourage kids to listen to the sounds around them.
This would be an incredibly fun read aloud! There are so many great sounds and Marsalis has captured some of them with awesome onomatopoeia. Ringing with exuberance and auditory delights, this second collaboration by world-renowned jazz musician and composer Wynton Marsalis and acclaimed illustrator Paul Rogers takes readers (and listeners) on a rollicking, clanging, clapping tour through the many sounds that fill a neighborhood. Squeak, Rumble, Whomp! Whomp! Whomp! a sonic adventure by Wynton Marsalis, illustrated by Paul Rogersįrom Goodreads: What’s that sound? The back door squeeeaks open, sounding like a noisy mouse nearby - eeek, eeeek, eeeek! Big trucks on the highway rrrrrrrumble, just as hunger makes a tummy grrrrumble.
