    About this ebook

    At first light the finches
    are flitting about the trees

    Flittering
    fluttering
    flit
    purple finches
    flit
    Fluttering
    flittering
    fly
    painted finches
    fly.

    In this companion volume to Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices, the winner of the 1989 Newbery Medal, Paul Fleischman celebrates the sound, the sense, the essence of birds. Written to be spoken aloud by two voices, sometimes alternating, sometimes simultaneous, these poems perfectly capture the beauty of birds in their singing, soaring, and rejoicing.

      Poetry about various birds, inteded to be read by two individuals, is presented.The book would be a great way to talk about the diversity of poetry, describing animals, and birds.
    • 4/5
      I love this book because of the illustrations and the poems that are about birds that are really cute.
