Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep!


Clang! Clang! Beep! Beep! Listen to the City by Robert Burleigh, illustrated by Beppe Giacobbe, A Paula Wiseman Book (Simon and Schuster Books), 2009, ISBN 978-1-4169-4052-4
PS: From morning until night, a city is filled with such sounds as the roars and snores of a subway ride.
FULL of onomatopoeia words: beep beep, shhhh!, ting-a-ling-a-ling, roar, scritch scratch hop.
Good action verbs too: sidewalk chalking, bridge arms lifting, pigeons strutting, subway roaring, riders snoring.
