The Listening Walk
Stealth Science
Why this book counts
- Physics & Energy
- Story / Adventure
- Lyrical / Visual Picture Book
A girl and her father make an ordinary walk extraordinary by becoming quiet enough to notice one sound after another. The sensory journey invites young readers to compare sources, patterns, loudness, and location before anyone labels the experience a sound lesson.
The science inside
- Sound & Light
- Scientific Discovery & Careers
Your child will meet:
- Sounds have identifiable sources, and careful listening can connect a sound with the event or object producing it.
- Sounds can differ in loudness, pitch, rhythm, duration, and direction.
- A soundscape changes with place, time, weather, movement, and the activity of people and other organisms.
- Repeated attentive observations can reveal details in a familiar environment that are usually overlooked.
