Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep! Listen to the City Robert Burleigh Beppe Giacobbe Books Reviews

This is one of my 2 year old son's favorite books to read at bedtime! Highly recommended, a lyrical ode to city life.
Kids love onomatopoeia, and this book is a whole lot of that. That is about all it is, though. The cars go beep. The pigeons strut about. The whistle and Ric Flair both go "wooo woooooooooo." There's ring-a-lings, a scritch, a scratch, and a coo. Smashers, roars, and a flitter-flutter, too. The book has no real plot other than one boy whose super-hearing is both a blessing and a curse. Nothing about this book is exciting, but again--kids love onomatopoeia, so...it at least does that. Perhaps for a kid who has never visited the city, this might be plenty.

For a book published in the past decade, the art makes it look a lot older. A partially unbuttoned silk shirt, Dad? What is this, 1988? And readers in Cuba would find some of the car models outdated. What might have made this book a bit better would have been to have told it from the nameless kid's mother's perspective. Then they could add catcalls and her being told empty promises at work. I suppose that would have made for a completely different type of story, though.
In this striking picture book, a young boy hears the different noises the city makes from morning to night. This is a terrific bedtime story for preschoolers or even toddlers; the rhyming text is extremely simple, and the illustrations, with their bright, unusual palette for cityscapes, will grab the attention of the child. The story begins with waking up in the morning with an alarm clock and ends with the city peacefully falling asleep. Various noises are depicted in the illustrations, and young children will enjoy imitating the clang clang of the bridge arms, the coo coo of the pigeons, and other typical city noises. It's also a great read-aloud for story times in classrooms or libraries. Highly recommended, especially for little boys!
We love this book. We checked it out from the library and it quickly became one of my 2-year-old's favorites, so we bought it. We still love it.
