The Loud Book by Deborah Underwood

Underwood, Deborah. The Loud Book! New York: Houghton Mifflin, 2011. 32p.

Many examples of “loud” are listed and illustrated throughout this book. Pair this with Underwood’s The Quiet Book to sharpen students’ descriptive writing skills. Challenge students to come up with their own descriptive examples that make images in readers' minds, then have students apply this skill to their own writing during the revision process.
