Amazon.com: Sounds Tough! Big Noisy Machines (Sounds Funny Books) (9780979621345): Kevin Somers: Books

Review

"A stand-out early board book uses striking, Roy Lichtenstein-inspired graphics to introduce a gallery of child-pleasing and very noisy machines." —Kirkus Reviews

"With simple storytelling and strong graphic design, Sounds Funny! is a board book that's sure to keep little ones entertained." —Joseph Kelly, writer, Superman and X-Men comics

"Toddlers will go crazy . . . a board book that uses vibrant illustrations to present a fun lineup of noisy machines." —Mammanista.com

"Simple and fun! Sounds Tough! is a fun way to help your child with beginning sound development." —Cory Poland, pediatric speech-language pathologist and cofounder, Talking Child

"The book company that brought us 123 New York and Sounds Funny! has impressed me again with their newest release. . . . The art, as in all the Duopress books, falls nothing short of fantastic." —doesmommyloveit.com

"My little monster . . . loves all books, anything he can turn the pages on and make the story up. His current faves are The Moo Book by Dr Seuss, Goodnight Moon and Sounds Tough! Big Noisy Machines. The best is when I can hear him talking to himself reading in the morning through the monitor." —Kelly Miller, director, advertising & sponsorship, Baby Loves Disco and juicebox Magazine

Product Description

A train goes "chooo, chooo," a tug boat honks, and a cement mixer goes "sloooosh!"—machines make the craziest sounds, and children will love to imitate them in this seriously wacky board book. Combining a cause-and-effect scenario with some of the most appealing elements of comic books and pop art—such as simple panels and intense primary colors—this giggle-inducing read teaches an important element of language development in a fun and appealing way.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FOR TODDLERS, September 11, 2008

By	Kevin C. Matteson "the matteson's" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My 2 year old makes us read this book over and over again. The simple sounds and pictures make him laugh out loud as he repeats each noise after us.
