What to Expect: Imagination, time, schedules, and diversity.
A sequel to the endlessly fun Do the Voices, this lovely picture book offers a whole new range of diverse characters with voices to share and to hear.
What if your alarm clock could come to life and shout at you to wake up? What would its voice sound like? In this magical imaginary adventure, all the household objects come to life, filling the house with a cacophony of unique voices. Poppy the toaster points out a sticky face, Elaina the cardigan complains about being washed, and Mom’s handbag begs not to be made to carry any more things! Even the trees outside the house talk, sharing their feelings about the birds and animals around them. And, at the end of a busy day, Harold, the Chair, always offers support and comfort. With so many interesting voices all around, who could ever feel lonely?
Each new character in Do the Voices Too is drawn from the everyday objects readers are likely to see all around them, interacting with the nameless protagonist and encouraging readers to engage with their environment in a new, imaginative way. While each voice is unique, the story makes it clear that all are welcome and interesting, supporting an overall message about diversity and providing endless scope for read-aloud creativity. Bright and cheerful illustrations help bring the objects to life with funny facial expressions and anthropomorphic details.
Do the Voices Too is a delightful second installment in this innovative series, perfect for shared family or classroom reading.
