Sound: Loud, Soft, High, and Low<\/a>, written by Natalie M. Rosinksy and illustrated by Matthew John, is a colorful book about all of the different ways that sound is made.\u00a0 Written especially for young learners, the author gives elementary definitions of how different sounds are made and why they sound the way they do.\u00a0 She gives examples of loud and soft sounds, such as the whack of a baseball against a wooden bat or the soft pitter patter of raindrops against a window.\u00a0 Wonderful examples of echo, high and low sounds, and sound waves are given so that young children may understand this topic.\u00a0 Science experiments pertaining to sound are listed in the back of the book.
