Can you Hear That?

In this fascinating picture book all about sounds Susan Hughes explores the topic in Sounds All Around: The Science of how Sound Works. Delightfully illustrated by Ellen Rooney, this book would make a fantastic addition to your non-fiction library. Available May 4th, 2021, your budding scientists will be fascinated by all of the information to discover about sound.

Did you know sound travels in waves and certain animals can hear very low sounds and some very high sounds? Readers get a front row seat to exactly how sound travels and why we can hear certain sounds and not others. I love how Susan Hughes has included many little mini experiments for readers to try as they learn all about decibels and hertz and echolocation. Adults may even learn some information too! She includes safety information as well to remind readers that sometimes sound can be damaging.

The illustrations by Ellen Rooney fill each page and paint a crystal clear picture about sound and sound vibrations. Her beautiful collage illustrations will pique the interest of the reader and perhaps even lead to some collage creation along with sound experimentation.
