Sounds

Sounds books in juvenile nonfiction introduce children to the nature of sound, from everyday noises to how hearing works and the science behind vibrations. This subject within the Concepts group helps young readers investigate what makes sounds, how we experience them, and the ways sound plays a role in the world around us.

To explore the topic of sounds further, readers can focus on related concepts such as pitch, volume, or the senses, or branch into other basic science categories. This subject stands out from its parent, Concepts, by zeroing in on auditory experiences and how children interpret and understand noise, music, and communication through sound.
