Joyful Noise by Paul Fleischman and Eric Beddows

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It's not everyday that a book about bugs delights me, but put bugs describing their lives, poetry, and vivid pen and ink drawings into a collection and there's definitely a winner!

Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman sounds like a gospel hymnal my grandmother would have carried to church each Sunday, but after glancing at the cover, you will find that those sounds come from nature's creation, called insects.

This poetry collection boasts 14 of the most adorable poems, all spoken in the voices of the bugs they represent, all to be read aloud with someone- sometimes one at a time, sometimes simultaneously- all in the merry tradition of Frere Jacques, an elementary school classic.

Joyful Noise celebrates natures insect world from the water strider who "whenever we're asked/ we walk upon water" to the book lice "who dwell who dwell/ in these dusty bookshelves." My favorite of all the poems in this book, however, was 'Chrysalis Diary.'

Paul Fleischman has created a wonderfully unique book that could be used in a variety of ways. As a workshop creator, I see writing and art possibilities, using the poems as spring boards for creativity for almost any age group.

The teacher in me sees Mr. Fleischman's book as an opportunity to make learning fun by having youth research the insects they are most drawn to, creating the perfect presentation/study project, and working across multiple subjects to maximize learning potential.

And as a poetry lover, well, as a poetry lover I see the lives of wonderful insects jump off the page through renga-like poems, with sing songy verse and lively drawings, brought to life by two voices, reciting aloud, in perfect harmony.

Whether you are looking for poems moving enough to touch your heart, or funny enough to make you giggle your sadness away, Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices is amazing and should be the one poetry book no home is without!

Ever since I was a child I've loved nature and animals. I spent my time out of doors, chasing butterflies and scooping tadpoles out of ponds. So it's no wonder I studied biology and became an author myself, sharing my fascination with the living world with readers. I've expanded into other fascinating areas of knowledge, too, especially historical topics of the American west, such as the Lewis and Clark expedition and the relationships of Native Americans with bison and horses.

I grew up in Rochester, MN until our family moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. After high school, I studied at Stanford University and U.C. Berkeley, where I got my Ph.D in Zoology, met my husband Greg, and had two sons, David and Jason. As the boys grew up, I decided to be a working stay-home mom, sharing my fascination with Nature with young readers.

I've been lucky in my career--I've traveled the world researching my books, earned many awards and honors such as the Washington Post Children's Book Guild Award, and had my books featured on many 'best books' lists, including Best Science Trade Books for Students from the National Science Teachers Association.

After decades raising my boys in Missoula, MT, my husband and I now live on the island of Kaua'i, where I continue to write and also teach online writing courses to help people express their own creative voices. Visit my website www.DorothyHinshawPatent.com to learn more.

Fly Guy Presents: Weird Animals by Tedd Arnold

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Born in Elmira, New York, Tedd grew up in a family of six with three brothers. His family lived on a farm in Pennsylvania for several years then returned to Elmira until Tedd was ten years old. His father's work then required that they move to Gainesville, Florida. There, Tedd's first art lessons in an abandoned dentist's office over the Happy Hour pool hall eventually led to a fine arts degree from the University of Florida. He and his wife, Carol, started their family in Tallahassee where Tedd worked as a commercial illustrator. Their first son, Walter, inspired his breakthrough picture book, No Jumping on the Bed! His second son, William, stars in No More Water in the Tub!, a sequel to his first book. He has now published more than 100 books as author and illustrator. When not working on his books, Tedd's interests include sketching, reading, travel and building things--like a garden shed and a tree house. He says, "The inspiration to begin writing and illustrating for children came from my wife, Carol. As a kindergarten teacher, she collected picture books. I was attracted to their colorful pages and the way the words and pictures played with each other, much like the captioned cartoons I had drawn when I was young. I love hearing from my readers! Kids keep me on my toes and they ask a lot of questions. The number one question seems to be, 'Where do you get your ideas?' It's also the hardest question to answer because every idea is different. Some ideas seem to pop out of thin air--while I'm driving down the road or taking a walk. Others come from reading or research. But most of my early ideas came from our boys and the things they would do and say. For instance, one time when our first son, Walter, was five years old, I found him lying on the couch, looking pale as a ghost and clutching a Bible to his chest. He was praying! When I asked what was wrong, he wouldn't answer. In fact, he wouldn't even open his mouth. My wife, Carol, finally coaxed a response from him: he pointed inside his mouth. Carol exclaimed, 'You have a loose tooth!' Walter's eyes nearly popped out with fright. We quickly assured him that it was perfectly okay for his tooth to come loose and that a new one would replace it. But Carol and I looked at each other and realized that despite all our efforts to be good parents, we had somehow completely forgotten to warn Walter that teeth fall out! He had thought he was falling apart! I made a little note in my journal; then ten years later, I expanded that memory into my book Parts." Tedd's current Fly Guy series has twice received the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor and is approaching 20 books. He is also co-author and illustrator of a new series featuring the Noodleheads, Mac and Mac, also the recipient of a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Honor. Tedd Arnold now lives beside a lake near Gainesville, Florida, with his wife, Carol, and their two cats, Lou and Kitty-doo.
