Book description
Paul Fleischman's Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices arrives as a masterclass in auditory storytelling, perfectly realized for the audiobook format. Forget static reading-this collection thrives when voices converse, argue, and harmonize across the page. Fleischman, son of another Newbery winner, crafted something truly singular: poems where a cicada's buzz meets a cricket's chirp, a bee's drone answers a wasp's hum, all designed for two voices. The audiobook doesn't just present these poems-it makes you hear the insect world's vibrant chorus.
What elevates this beyond a simple poetry collection is its inherent theatricality. The dual narration isn't just a gimmick; it's the book's heartbeat. Listening, you'll hear the contrast: a slow, deep cicada voice overlapping with a rapid, high-pitched grasshopper. One voice might drone a steady rhythm while another stutters with urgency. The effect is immediate, immersive-like stepping into a sun-dappled garden where every insect has its own distinct voice. Fleischman's language pulses with life: "I am the drone of the honeybee / I am the hum of the bumblebee" becomes a rhythmic duet, not just words on a page.
The Newbery Medal recognition isn't surprising. This isn't just a book for kids; it's a joyous, accessible gateway to poetry's musicality. The audiobook format makes it effortless to engage-no need to imagine the voices, they're already there, clear and alive. You'll find yourself pausing to hear how the voices shift, how a whispering moth contrasts with a buzzing fly. Eric Beddows' illustrations (though not visible in audio) are echoed in the vividness of the words, making the insects feel tangible.
Fleischman's legacy as the first father-son Newbery winners adds quiet weight, but the true triumph here is how the book transforms reading into shared experience. Whether you're a parent reading with a child, a teacher in a classroom, or simply someone craving poetry that sounds alive, this audiobook delivers. It's not merely heard-it's felt in your chest, a reminder of the constant, joyful noise of the natural world. Fleischman didn't just write poems for two voices; he built a bridge between reader and listener, where every insect's song becomes a shared, resonant moment. This is poetry that doesn't just speak-it sings.
