Tiffany Caldwell

This is the second book in the Adventures of Forkman series written by Tiffany Caldwell, and W.R. MacKenizie. Follow Kathryn and William as they learn how to load the dishwasher and learn their table manners from their utensil friends. The illustrations will capture your child’s attention while reading this wonderfully written book. I enjoyed reading this to my grandchildren, even with all of the questions they asked. Their favorite part was when Forkman jumped at the table and shocked mom and dad after William had burped. This is a good book to teach children of all age’s mealtime etiquette.

What’s that noise is Chapters 3 and 4 of The Adventures of Forkman series. In this book, Forkman is teaching the children to load the dishwasher properly and proper manners at the table. In chapter 3, I love the way Forkman teaches to load the dishwasher, putting each piece in its proper place. In chapter 4, Forkman is teaching the right manners at the table. No burping or other rude noises!

What a great way to use eating utensils to teach our children the right things to do in helping in the kitchen and using our best manners while at table eating with the family. I like the emphasis on how meals are a family time where family can talk about things important to them.

And the illustrations created by Vanessa Alexandre are so adorable. I love the characters, the family, the vivid colors, all fit so well and work perfectly with the story that’s written. The faces are so cute that smaller children will love looking at the pictures throughout the book. All in all this is a wonderful book inside and out. And I give this one Five Stars!

This book and all of the books in the Adventures of Forkman are a must in you child’s home library. It is well worth your purchase.

The Adventures of Forkman: What's That Noise? is a great children's picture book about mealtime etiquette and clean-up. It is a great way to instruct a child in properly loading a dishwasher, plus, good table manners. It is a great book for young pre-school and elementary age readers.
The illustrations done by Vanessa Alexandre are large, colorful and simple in a slightly abstract way.
The Cover image and Title are eye-catching and somewhat "fitting". However the Title does not offer a clear idea of what is withing te pages.
What I found slightly confusing is, that the book begins with Chapter 3. It can be confusing to the reader, wondering where the missing chapters are. Also, personally, I am not fond of cartoon-like depictions of characters. - However, this does not affect my rating of the book.
