BOM! went the bear, playing a big bass drum! And along comes monkey, turtles, giraffes, frogs, elephants, and so on. Everyone wants to join in the music parade, which doesn’t make bear so happy. Parts of the book have a melody or rhythm from the words, but there are breaks and it makes it hard to pick back up. It would take practice to have kids join in with the sounds, but they would enjoy making the loud and soft sounds and other different sounds as shown in this book.
