In this charming and spirited retelling of Psalm 100:1 from celebrated children's author Karma Wilson, youngsters observe a child discovering the fun and sheer joy of praising God. From birds singing and the church bells ringing to the lively worship service itself--where folks sing, clap, and shout, Hallelujah!--all creation seems to be joining together to celebrate God's goodness in this full-color picture book. Composed entirely in delightful add-on verse, each page builds on the one before, adding ding dongs to tweet-a-tweets and hums to taps to claps, until the entire congregation shouts, 'Let's make a joyful noise to the Lord!' Even the quiet prayer, we learn, is a joyful noise. Pre-readers will love helping with sound effects while early readers will be amused by each deft rhyme in this satisfying and entertaining book for kids ages 4 to 8.
