(3) K-3 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science series. Illustrated by Holly Keller. Pfeffer introduces young readers to the science of sound and hearing. While mainly encouraging observation of sound, the text also includes simple explanations for how humans and animals hear and use sound. Instructions for several classic sound activities (including musical instruments and string telephones) are included. Cartoonlike illustrations feature many onomatopoeic words: "knock, knock," "cluck, cluck," "psst," "howwwwl!"
