"""Mom, What's That Sound"" written by Lisa Baker is a delightful children's book that tackles a unique and important theme -the world of sound perception through the ears of a young boy who is bothered by and scared of the loud noises around his house. This charming story is enhanced by simple, hand-drawn illustrations by Lisa Baker herself, and a rhythmic, rhyming tone that effectively conveys the experience of what loud household appliances might sound like from a child's perspective. The adventure Lisa Baker takes the reader on as the boy travels around his house, trying to unravel the mystery behind the loud sounds that surround him is enjoyable. As he explores each room, he encounters a variety of intriguing sounds, all creatively depicted through the mind of a young child who may hear these sounds and fear the source of them. The author's descriptive and rhythmic verses draw you in for a guessing game of what makes that kind of sound in a house. The rhyming narrative adds a lyrical quality to the book, making it an enjoyable read-aloud experience. What a fantastic creative idea for a book. As a Pediatric Audiologist and owner of ListenHEAR, who specializes in Auditory Processing Disorders including hyperacusis and Misophonia, books like these are great for discussions about loud noises and sounds, especially those that might cause fear or pain. I would also recommend this book for parents of children with hearing aids or cochlear implants that sometimes have difficulty identifying the source of a sound. Challenge your children to a guessing game as you read along trying to guess what appliance or object in a house makes the sounds, like a dragon breathing fire in a house. When's the last time you went on an adventure around your house to listen to all the sounds and noises? I encourage you to make a fun game out of your household noises, too. This is a great book for young children, and I am happy to have it on my shelf to read with my patients. Dr. Rachel Cohen, Au.D., CCC-A, Cert.
