On each page are two columns of verse for children to alternate reading aloud about the lives of six-legged creatures ranging from fireflies writing in the sky to a love affair between two lice, crickets eating pie crumbs and the single day in the life of a mayfly. Charming large scale soft-pencil illustrations enhance the comical, easy-to-read text. 1845013 1988 Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices total:426|5:145|4:149|3:94|2:31|1:7| 426 1672 571 85 5 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Feb 11 15:15:21 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 15:16:34 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Fri Apr 24 14:51:19 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 24 14:55:27 -0700 2009 I wouldn't have taken the time to read "Joyful Noise" were it not for the Newbery Medal that it earned, but I actually liked it better th...more...]]> 5 4 false false Tue Jun 23 09:11:04 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 09:21:52 -0700 2009
