Melvin the Mouth

Melvin is an imaginative and noisy little boy who grows up to be Mel Blanc, Looney Tunes pioneer and the voice behind Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Woody Woodpecker, the Tasmanian Devil, and so many more familiar characters. Readers are treated to a typical day for young Melvin, when ordinary tasks like getting ready for school, riding the bus, and completing his chores are charged with sound effects and accompanied by his own personal soundtrack. Penned by Blanc’s daughter-in-law, this first-person fiction-based-in-reality story is a fun romp and celebration of the versatility of the human voice.
