Review: Discovering the Symphony of Nature - In *The Listening Walk*, Paul Showers and Aliki invite young readers to embark on a sensory adventure alongside a little girl and her father.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read the Book! Take Your Own Listening Walks!
*by K***S on November 23, 2013*

Back in 1985, when I was pregnant with my youngest child, and the two oldest ones where in elementary school during the day, I had time to spend with my four-year-old son. THE LISTENING WALK was one of our favorite books. We were living then on a nine-acre piece of lovely wooded property in Florida and would often take our own "listening walks" in those woods, paying attention to the sounds around us. That original copy of the book has been lost, but I wanted to revisit the theme and the experience with my grandchildren, especially the two youngest, who just turned five years old. Buy the book, read the book with a child or children you love, and then go take your own listening walks, and do so often. In a world that is often so fast-paced and so loud, it is wonderful to practice listening.
