Through the story, readers are encouraged to go outdoors and feel the wind! Resources and activities including building an anemometer and a description of the Beaufort wind scale are included for further learning.

Readers will join two young explorers as they listen to the sounds of their neighborhood.
What made that buzzing sound? It sounds loud! What else do you hear? Jane and Jim listen closely to sounds indoors and outdoors as they learn that something must vibrate to make a sound. A fun and engaging narrative encourages readers to describe the sounds they hear and figure out how they are made. Teachers will appreciate the additional activity suggestions to continue the explorations.
