As a former English teacher, I love finding books that emphasize a poetic device in a child-appropriate way.In Slop Goes the Soup, it's all about onomatopoeia. Or, words that describe audible sounds, such as slop, crash, clang, buzz or plip.
Illustrator Henry Cole sends readers on a cause/effect journey as a warthog prepares soup for company in a noisy, disastrous way.
Younger readers will especially like this loud, funny book as it hinges on physical humor--the first kind understood by children.
