pure, joyful genius

the only sound he doesn't have to put in the book is the one your own nose makes when that slimey stuff pops out of it because you're laughing too hard. do yourself a favor: buy 12 and give them to all the crabby pants you know.

its a great book to make people laugh with!

i loved how easy it ws to read the book and the pictures were fabulous. I also liked that just about every sound i can think of was in the book. i loved it! the CD was awesome and it sounded like it went around your head. i've never heard anything like this before!

A funny book you will enjoy time and time again!

Fred Newman has written the best book and maybe the only book about how to make unusual sounds with your mouth. He's an expert at this, having done sound for many movies, TV shows, etc. But more than just a demonstration of these sounds, he actually teaches you how to make them yourself! This is more fun than you might think. It's all done in a wonderfully amusing style with plenty of photos. There is also a CD included so you can hear examples. We had a copy of this book on the table at a party. Some of the guests got a hold of it and spent a good hour trying out the various techniques, laughing all the way.

Stunningly Well Done!

Frederick R. Newman more than earned my respect with this masterpiece. His abilities to do these incredible sounds are, in my opinion, only second to his uncanny knack for filling others in on just how to most easily do them! Way to go Freddy!

Easy to understand, overall a fun book!

I learned how to bark like a dog (my favorite) and now I scare people at school. They look around with a confused look on their faces saying "Where's the dog?!?"
