Bumpety, Dunkety, Thumpety-Thump! - K. L. Going, Simone Shin

What sound does a bubble bath make? What do berries feel like? Author K.L. Going answers these questions and more in this noisy story for young listeners that explores the five senses and emphasizes the familiar sounds of everyday activities. With bare feet in the grass and a wagon ride over rough gravel, we hear Bumpety, Dunkety, Thumpety-Thump! (Beach Lane, $17.99) as plump blueberries are collected for an afternoon of baking and family time. Berries bump and the oven clunks. Chairs slunk and dishes dunk. Bath time glunks and bedtime lumps as a messy, rattling day is soon cleaned up. Illustrator Simone Shin depicts the heart-bursting happiness of childhood that may persuade us all to get a little silly. Ages 3-6.
