Sounds Tough! Big Noisy Machines by Kevin Somers, Mauricio Velazquez de Leon (Editor)

From the Publisher

A train goes "chooo, chooo," a tug boat honks, and a cement mixer goes "sloooosh!"—machines make the craziest sounds, and children will love to imitate them in this seriously wacky board book. Combining a cause-and-effect scenario with some of the most appealing elements of comic books and pop art—such as simple panels and intense primary colors—this giggle-inducing read teaches an important element of language development in a fun and appealing way.

Toddlers will go crazy . . . a board book that uses vibrant illustrations to present a fun lineup of noisy machines.

The book company that brought us 123 New York and Sounds Funny, has impressed me again with their newest release. . . . The art, as in all the Duopress books, falls nothing short of fantastic.

Kirkus Reviews

A stand-out early board book uses striking, Roy Lichtenstein-inspired graphics to introduce a gallery of child-pleasing and very noisy machines. Each spread presents one conveyance, heavy black lines delineating the forms clearly. A backhoe appears poised and silent on the left page; it "SCOOPs" out a bucketful of mud (and a turtle) on the right. The onomatopoeic sound effects are the only text, and they appear in big, balloon letters as part of the illustrations, drawing the readers' eyes. Part of the Sounds Funny! series.
