Step outside and listen, listen. You'll most likely hear some of the sounds mentioned in this book. Listen, Listen is all about the sounds of the outdoors. The writing is simple and short focusing on making sounds that you will hear in different seasons. The illustrations are there to help students picture the animals and scenes that they are hearing.
This would be a very fun book for younger students, and is one that you would definitely want to read aloud. I think it would even make a great candidate for a choral reading. Students could also add to the story, describing other sounds that they here throughout the different seasons, or in different locations. I also enjoyed the back of the book where the author identifies things you can observe outdoors during each of the seasons; also list that students could add to.
