{"product_id":"noisy-bug-sing-along-9781584691921","title":"Noisy Bug Sing-Along","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKids love bugs, and this book takes readers outside both day and night to see and hear all the sights and sounds. The illustrations are fun and use the sounds of the insects to direct the readers eye to all the cool sounds bugs make. Accurate scientific information accompanies all of the fun of heading out to the backyard on a summer night to experience the bugs!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this colorful picture book, Himmelman introduces the sounds of \"noisy bugs\" and invites children to sing along with them. Each double-page spread focuses on one insect, with a line of text, such as \"A Dog-Day Cicada buzzes LOUDLY high in a tree. \/ ZZZZZZZZ,\" and a meticulously drawn, large-scale image of the animal, with color, texture, and shading apparently added digitally. The big, bold images make the illustrations inviting to children, while the accurate depictions of individual insects reward closer study. Among those featured are the tiger moth (SQUEAKA-SQUEAKA-SQUEAK), the mosquito (mmmmmm), and the bush katydid (tick-tick-tick zeezeezeezee). In contrast, the butterfly flies by in silence. An appended section provides the sound waves (on paper and, through a link, in audio files) recorded for each example; a paragraph of information about each bug and its sound; and good children's activities for related of insect sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA perfect book for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eparents and teachers needing homeschool materials for kindergarten (or any grade!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eanyone looking for singalong books for kids and toddlers!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eanyone looking for children's books to help instill an appreciation of our planet!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dawn Publications (CA)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584691921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 9.10w x 0.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2013 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2014 pg. 157 - Below Average, With Minor Flaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e158733 \/ Noisy Bug Sing-Along\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.7 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Lower Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"John Himmelman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42925077627061,"sku":"9781584691921","price":7.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_eadd691d-f3ee-4e2a-9096-7e6e06b9138f.jpg?v=1687845067","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/noisy-bug-sing-along-9781584691921","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
