A Little Less Noise

by Barry Louis Polisar, David Clark (Illustrator)

This witty, silly, humorous collection of some of Barry Louis Polisar's best-loved song lyrics, accompanied by imaginative full-color drawings, brings to life the often comical reality of childhood. Filled with pesky siblings, terrifying teachers, and tormented babysitters who won't return, not to mention various monsters, a boy who has lost his pants, and a young child with a dog named “Cat,” the illustrated poetry will delight youngsters of all ages as well as their parents.

[Breanna Shofner]

A Little Less Noise is a collection of poems. These poems discuss children's fears in a way that is larger than life. This book is a cute representation of daily occurrences. It would help children see that their fears are comical and inside their head.

I would use this book in a classroom to discuss the different types of poetry. Each page shows a new variety and style. Students who are learning about poetry would thrive from a collection of poems like this and different books in this field.

Kids Poems
I liked many of them such as
My Brother Threw Up on My Stuffed Toy Bunny
and
I've Got a Dog and My Dog's Name is Cat
Umm, some were cute like "The Boy Next Door!"
others were desturbing like "The Mean Teacher and The Mom Who Ran Away"

Here's a quote(:
I sleep all day, at night I play,
Some say I am a well read;
I eat 2 or 3 libraries for breakfast
And they go right to my head
