Illustrated by
Christina Leist.
A child and grownup go for a stroll. Dogs are barking, bugs are hopping--the world is full of sounds: "On my walk, / my summer walk, / I hear a horse, / clippity-clop, clippity-clop." When it starts raining, they hear all the noises again in reverse order. Though the story is slight, the out-and-back journey is comfortingly portrayed. Unfussy illustrations complement the text.
