Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices is a book of poetry for children by Paul Fleischman. It won the 1989 Newbery Medal.[1]
The book is a collection of fourteen children's poems about insects such as mayflies, lice, and honeybees. The concept is unusual in that the poems are intended to be read aloud by two people. Some lines are spoken by the readers simultaneously, while others are read alternately by the speakers. There is also the poem, "Fireflies," on pages 11 to 13 in this book.
Kirkus Reviews called Joyful Noise "A splendid collection of poems in many moods about the lives and dreams of insects." Also, the book And the Message Is...contained the poem, "Fireflies," in what you would actually get to be near page sixteen of that book. However, that was actually this titled as Volume Four! However, this book was from 1997 and you never actually got it wrong. Of course, this poem about Fireflies was very different...of course, and you never had that! We loved that poem. Now, why do you think it looks like an amazing poem whenever you have met other poems? If you actually like it, then that is all right! [2]
