Editorial Reviews

Review

An exuberant quartet of birds serenade a community in Diesen's rhyming picture book. Starting before dawn, the boisterous foursome is oblivious to the exasperation of an owl (who gives some serious side-eye), a sleepy human family, and other beings. The titular refrain splays across spreads in a colorful, curlicue-accented font, growing larger (and presumably louder) as the day, and the story, progresses. Gray's effective use of chiaroscuro conveys the passage of time; a variety of perspectives and angles keeps the visuals fresh. --Publisher's Weekly

Gorgeous colorful illustrations by Howard Gray as it follows four birds who blend their skills to provide a neighborhood sing-along concert. -- --PRIME PICKS Donovan's Literary Services

Each page feels the birds' poetic rhythm. Toddlers will quickly learn to chime in on the "chorus." -- Carol Baldwin blog

Five Star Review ***** Excellently written. The repetitive phrase is so much fun for kids to repeat over and over. My kids were fighting over who gets to say, We Sing Some More, because they think it is so much fun. -- --The Manhattan Book Review

Written in rhyme, Sing Some More! is an exuberant musical celebration, perfect for anyone who has awakened to the sound of birdsong, welcome or otherwise. Bright, colorful and humorous illustrations add a parallel storyline about a family trying to enjoy their day. Sing Some More! introduces musical vocabulary to children in a fun way including words like vocalize, arpeggios, harmonies, a cappella, ballads, and anthems with backmatter provides definitions of these musical terms. -- --Sir Read A Lot

    Howard pursued art throughout school but, after much deliberation, decided to pursue a career in science; completing a BSc in zoology and then a PhD in molecular ecology and phylogenetics, studying dolphins in the Arabian Sea! This research took Howard to Oman where he worked with a team studying the amazing diversity of marine life in the region.

    Now, Howard has returned to his dream career of becoming an illustrator and has worked on a variety of fiction and non-fiction titles. Howard’s work is predominantly digital, but he loves to play around with textures and often incorporates watercolour washes or photos from his personal library.

    These days, Howard lives with his family in the picturesque city of Durham, UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sing Some More
Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2020
This humorous book is about four bird friends who love to sing. Their "voices" not only are filled with musical vocabulary (that is defined in the back matter) but are also brimming with a desire to Sing Some More.

Written by Deborah Diesen and illustrated by Howard Gray, each page feels the birds' poetic rhythm. Toddlers will quickly learn to chime in on the "chorus."

We're the birds that make the music
that you hear up in the trees,
And we vocalize with gusto
as we hit the notes with ease.

The birds wake a family up and follow them to their picnic.

We perform our songs for others
And we hope they'll sing along.
We have tunes for all occasions,
And our harmonies are strong.
We create new music daily.
And it never comes out wrong.

The birds leave each page with the refrain of, "And when we're DONE?" that is answered on the next page with, "We sing some more!"

After a busy day of "singing from their hearts," the birds FINALLY admit they are tired.

Well actually...
I think we're really done." (says the Robin).
"Yeah, I'm pretty tired." (says the Cardinal).
"Time to call it a day." (says the Wren).
"Good night!" (says the Blue Jay).

But in the end, they're not done because they promise that tomorrow they will sing some more.

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2020
I am a huge fan of anything that Deborah Diesen writes, she has a way of drawing readers into a story. "Sing Some More" follows four spirited birds as they engage in a long day of singing. Starting at dawn, the birds begin their musical and do not end until nightfall. The text is written in rhyme and engages readers throughout the entire story. The text is also filled with music vocabulary with words like vocalize, ballads, and arpeggios making it a fantastic addition to any music lesson or unit. Readers will love stating the phrase "We'll Sing Some More" throughout the book. The illustrations by Howard Gray are filled with vibrant colors and patterns. Readers will laugh out loud as they follow a young family who begins to resent the vocal birds. The back of the book has a glossary that shares the definitions of the music vocabulary used throughout the book. This is a must-have read-aloud for an elementary music teacher.
