This series, compact in form and narrow in focus, introduces the basics of sound through vibrant photographs, large text, and simple sentences. Each title begins with the statements that "There are many different sounds. We hear different sounds around us every day." From there the books introduce new concepts, building up on one another from What Is Sound?, the most basic book, to How Do We Hear?, Making Sounds, and Different Sounds. What Is Sound? covers sound waves, while How Do We Hear? explains the workings of the ear. Making Sounds describes the different sounds humans can make. Finally, from Different Sounds, readers will learn that fast sound waves make high sounds and slow sound waves make low sounds. These are great introductions and worthy additions to the I Can Read science category. Recommended—Ragan O’Malley, Saint Ann’s School, Brooklyn, NY <i> School Library Journal</i> November 2009

Both music and elementary science teachers will find this series for the beginning reader most beneficial. Children will learn how both animals and people hear sounds, how sounds are made, and how people can make their own sounds. In addition to the striking color photographs used through out each volume, the author uses simple, repetitive text to introduce children to sound and hearing. A unique feature in each book is the picture glossary, which, together with the use of basic vocabulary, can only make this series a popular one with beginning readers. Each of the photographs used shows how sounds can be made in different ways, and the repetition of text can be found throughout the series. Among the helpful aids for the teacher and librarian is a checklist highlighting what the reader has learned. The inclusion of a note recommending ways to prepare the young reader for the information in each book and activities to do after each reading will help to reinforce the information learned. Index.
