Reviews"Ann Rand's warmhearted verses wink at Paul Rand's unmistakable primary colors and collage-driven illustrations to extend an openhanded invitation to attentiveness and attunement with the living world." -- Brain Pickings, "Paul Rand designed and illustrated four children's books with his wife, Ann Rand, as author. My favorite, for the carefree energy of its illustration and the intelligence of its story, is Listen! Listen! The casual yet deliberate use of drawing and collage reveals Rand at his intuitive comedic best. Each spread is a Paul Klee homage in Rand's signature style." -- Steven Heller, Print magazine -- -, "Ann Rand's warmhearted verses wink at Paul Rand's unmistakable primary colors and collage-driven illustrations to extend an openhanded invitation to attentiveness and attunement with the living world." -- Brain Pickings -- -, "Paul Rand designed and illustrated four children's books with his wife, Ann Rand, as author.

SynopsisPaul Rand and his wife, Ann, wrote this book for their daughter, Catherine, to explain the interplay of sound and color. Paul's distinctive papercut illustrations of bold shapes and bursts of color beautifully complement Ann's rhythmic text, encouraging children to listen and repeat noises they hear every day: the "blop" of a raindrop, the "wham!" of a shutting door, the whisper of the wind in the trees, and the "crunch crunch" of buttered toast., Paul Rand and his wife, Ann, wrote this book for their daughter, Catherine, to explain the interplay of sound and color.
