Reviews

"Despite the ostensible topic, it's the art and page design that occupy center stage in this large-format showcase. . . . [E]ach eye-catching scene features a mix of flat or minimally modeled images of musical instruments and other sound producers, animal or human silhouettes, and graphic representations of sonic waves, lines, bursts, or blasts. . . . Jazzy, loud illustrations command-and merit-attention . . ."-Kirkus Reviews
"[Sound] is a silent symphony of superlative noise. The text completely and comprehensively describes the qualities, sources, and uses of sound. . . . A joyful moment of reflection on our noisy, cacophonous world."-School Library Journal
"[T]his attention-grabbing informational book starts with a bang: a rapid-fire tour of all things sound. Chock-full of whimsical infographics. . . [Sound is] a quiet meditation on hearing, listening, silence, communication, and understanding."-The Horn Book Magazine
"This illustrated nonfiction primer presents a compelling foray into the many aspects of sound and how it shapes the world. . . . [O]ften poetic. . . budding acousticians will find it a worthy resource."-Publishers Weekly
