Book Descriptions
for What Sound Is Morning? by Grant Snider
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
"In the first morning light, all is quiet. Or is it? Listen. What sound is morning?" Starting in the home, the pages move through the sounds of morning: lights clicking on, a baby babbling, sprinklers hissing, a rooster crowing. As the world wakes up, other sounds join in: a man shouting after a bus, cars and trucks entering the city, hungry stomachs rumbling, frogs plopping into a stream. City sounds, home sounds, and country sounds flow seamlessly from one to the next as the sky brightens, before asking the reader to greet the new day and "fill the world with your song." A saturated color palette showcases yellow, orange, pink, and red expanding across the horizon, while buildings and streets remain dark green and blue in the foreground. (Ages 2-5)
