Yummmmmm! Yuckkkkkkk!

YUM! YUCK! A FOLDOUT BOOK OF PEOPLE SOUNDS, by Linda Sue Park
No AR Quiz Available

This delightful picture book translates many different "people sounds," such as yum, ha-ha, yikes, ah-choo, yuck, boo-hoo, wow, and hurray." Each double page spread shows four different languages, accompanied by illustrations of international children saying the sound. The right page folds out on each one, to show the English version of the same sound, along with an illustration. This book would be fun to do as a read-aloud with young children, predicting what the English sound will be. I especially enjoyed the author’s note at the end. This book sounds like it was fun to research!
