The book is a collection of fourteen children's poems about insects such as mayflies, lice, and honeybees. The concept is unusual in that the poems are intended to be read aloud by two people. Some lines are spoken by the readers simultaneously, while others are read alternately by the speakers.
Kirkus Reviews called Joyful Noise "A splendid collection of poems in many moods about the lives and dreams of insects."[2]
