(3) K-3 Illustrated by Katie Melrose. Using underwater microphones, we now know that “it’s NOISY down below!... / Fish GRUNT and GROAN, / fish SQUEAK and MOAN.” The text goes on to explain why and how sea animals use sound, from chirping angelfish to snapping shrimp. The rhyming and entertaining onomatopoeia-filled couplets impart an impressive amount of information; detailed and colorful spreads highlight the variety of underwater life. Back matter includes additional “Noisemaker Facts.”
