LISTENING FOR SOUNDS (First Adventures in Learning Program)

Text/BRAND NEW. Illustrated orange boards/VG; Cl;ean & strong w/rubs to edges & corner tips. Author Adelaide Holl is an elementary school teacher much in tune with both the sense of wonder and the length of concentration power of the pre-school child. Prose is lucid and rhythmically phrased for effective reading out aloud. The silence of falling snow, rustling of grass. lapping of waters are made wonderous and not to be passed by. Text accompanied by color illustrations, and ending with the story "SHHhhh Bang" by Margaret Wise Brown, appropriately about a town where everyone whispered; and, has whispered for so long, that they quite forgot about "noise or the real sound of things." Fine copy.
