Genre: Poetry
Awards: None
Summary: This book is a collection of two-voice poems about birds, written by Paul Fleischman. It is the follow-up to the 1989 Newbery-Award-Winning book, Joyful Noise. The way the poems are written, the audience hears sounds that represent what the birds sound like or what the feeling around the actions that the type of birds written about sounds like. These are fun poems to share and use in the classroom.
Reaction: I love this book. It is a great book to use in the classroom and is a fun way to bring poetry into the academic subjects, like science. Both of the books (Joyful Noise and I am Phoenix)are really fun and useful.
Recommended To: This book would best work with the older elementary-aged students. It would also be a great starting point in middle school science classes.
Book Hook: OK all you performance people: This book is for you. Get together with a friend and practice reading aloud this two-voice poems together.

I like the concept of "two voices". Poetry is meant to be read aloud - and this book makes that fun.
