Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep!: Listen to the City

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Beppe Giacobbe. "Alarm clock ringing, / Eardrums stinging..." From morning to night, Burleigh's simple pleasing rhymes and dynamic city scenes take readers through a boy's day. The retro-style, digitally generated illustrations incorporate lots of hand-lettered sound words: e.g., "snore, roar, rumble, rattle," which effectively convey the cacophony but tend to drown out the quieter text.
