What Sounds Fun to You? is a beautifully written and illustrated children's book that reminds us that there is a little bit of magic everywhere. It's not just a good lesson for children, but also for adults- look for the little joys in everything we do and they become big, important, habits. While religious children's literature has a tendency to be behind in diversity, there is a fair amount of diversity represented in this book. The book encourages fun and play. It's a good read for early childhood classrooms and homes. As we're climbing out of this world crisis, it's a beautiful thing to find fun. And especially to be able to find fun together!

What Sounds Fun to You? delivers ideas to children about where they can find fun. The world sometimes doesn't feel fun or maybe children just need inspiration. This children's book will fascinate youngsters and spark their creative juices.
The illustrations are colorful, inclusive, and diverse. The author included creative ideas to promote fun activities. There is also a page of seek-and-find objects for more interactive fun with your little ones.

This book really is fun! My three year old is already carrying it around chattering about what sounds fun to her and “reading” it out loud with her own additions. The book is a wonderful reminder to pay attention and stay open to the joy around us, and an invitation to practice curiosity, wonder, and connection. The illustrations are whimsical and diverse with just enough detail to catch your attention for awhile. It’s a great addition to our library.

This is a delightful read sure to spark fun ideas with the kids in your life. In a world filled with gadgets, all the ideas for fun in this book are unplugged and practical. I work with kids in a residential setting and have this book handy for when kids need a little inspiration thinking of what to do with down time.

Cute illustrations. Book doesn’t have much of a rhythm to it like most children’s books do, making it a little more difficult to use as a read-aloud.
