Patricelli, Leslie Be Quiet, Mike! Candlewick, 2011. $15. EL - ESSENTIAL.Mike likes to drum on everything. All day long the people in his life tell him, "Be quiet, Mike!", but he simply can't stop. When he sees a drum set in a music store he longs for one of his own. Since he can't buy it, he makes one instead.
This book is a delight to read aloud, as Patricelli's rhythms trip off the tongue. Would be perfect for that active little boy who likes to drum on everything or who enjoys building. Would also make a good lesson in word choice and onomatopoeia.
