" This title just needs a few more words in the text to describe the setting as those children who are not urban apartment dwellers may miss this real aspect of urban living. . .hearing your neighbors, and probably not even knowing who is living over your head. " Janet said.
" Perfect for storytime or bedtime reading. Simple, funny, great illustrations. My little guy loves reading it together and it's actually seeped into his life - the other night he hollered, "Go to bed!!!" at some noise outside, just like in the book. " Gayle said.
" It's a noisy night in the apartment complex. On every floor someone or something is making noise which adds up to a hard-to-ignore racket. When the old man on the top floor tells everyone and everything to go to bed, he finally gets some peace and quiet.Vibrant digital artwork. A fun read aloud for PreK-2. " Samantha said.
" With illustrations that look like they could be straight out of the 1970s (think bright colored, patterned wallpaper), this book has a retro feel. It is a book filled with word bubbles and rhyming sounds as various characters question, "What is going . . . above my head?"This will be a good read aloud for anyone looking for a bedtime story. Or a predictable story told with rhyme. " Ms. B said.
" A boy is trying to sleep on the bottom floor of a tall apartment building, but he can't sleep because someone is going lalalala above his head. Someone is singing. Above the singer's head is something else making noise. On and on with words that rhyme with lalalala, up to the top floor where and old man shouts "Go to sleep!" " Juliana Lee said.
" Something different is happening on each floor of the tall, noisy apartment building: people are dancing the cha-cha on one, cowboys are laughing heartily on another, and there is even a girl playing the trumpet. This is a cute book for very young people, as it leaves clues about what is happening on each floor as they move up through the building, and they would have fun trying to guess what all of those different things are. " Sandy said.
" Includes several excellent hallmarks of a perfect story time book: big bold text in a variety of fonts, only one or two lines per page, bright and obvious illustrations with a variety of perspectives, and (most of all) a repeating question. This urban version of a string of activities goes UP, through the floors of a tall apartment building. Themes include music, bedtime, and life in the city. " David Freudenburg said.
" Meet the people who live in a building in a city. As you meet one noisy character you get a peak of someone above them also making noise. Can you guess from the feet and the noise who is in the floor above and what they are doing?A little bit of problem solving/mystery solving, a little bit of onomatopoeia fun, and one very busy building. The illustrations are definitely fun, and kids should love the cranky resident of the top floor. " Becky B said.
