Synopsis
"Following his Newbery Medal-winning Joyful Noise, Fleischman offers another collection of beautifully orchestrated, spirited poems for many voices." — Booklist
These rousing, rib-tickling poems demand the joy of reading aloud. Settle back and chant "The Quiet Evenings Here," as Grandma rocks, the clock tick-tocks, and no one cares a hoot for the world outside. Delight in "Seventh-Grade Soap Opera," alive with hearsay about who’s holding hands with whom. This innovative book weaves a tapestry of rhythm that will have readers of all ages sounding off.

About the Author
From Kirkus Reviews
Ghosts, gossip, and Grandma rockin are the diverse subjects of three knee-slapping, tongue-twisting poems intended for choral reading by two, four, or more people. Helpful hints at the beginning will easily jump-start students into a readers theater of rhythmic, repetitive sounds and phrases. Songbook spacing and color-coded line bars dispel any confusion as to how the poems are to be read. As readers settle in with the comfortable format, a gentle walk picks up to a canter, then a trot as they naturally and eagerly up the pace to enliven the story. The first and simplest is a so-called quiet evening in the country, the second a seventh-grade soap opera told mostly over the telephone. In the third, ghosts hover around a table at mealtime, remembering fondly the savory, succulent crunch of cucumbers, the warm buttered roll, a small treasure chest or baked chicken still sizzling, so worthy of praise. Half the fun is the choreography of voices, blending, stumbling, laughing, and harmonizing. Breaking from the black-and-white drawings that graced Fleischmans Joyful Noise (1987) and I Am Phoenix (not reviewed), Giacobbe sets color-clad storyboards in cinematic borders along the lower edge of each page. Gulped breaths and guffaws from the naturally evolving quickened pace are the height of this orchestrated cacophony. (Poetry. 9-13) -- Copyright ©2000, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
