Joyful Noise: Poems for Two Voices by Paul Fleischman
Newbery Honor
This book is full of poems. It's better when you read it with two people. It's all about spring and spring noises.
I think it is titled "Joyful Noise" because the poems are about spring noises and spring is a joyful time.

Doctor DeSoto is a dentist. He treats all animals except ones who hate mice. But he helps the fox and then glues its mouth closed.
The book was given this title because the mouse is a dentist and his last name is DeSoto.
