By Carol Steen, Columbia Valley Gardens Elementary

"I can see the music teacher using this book with her students at our elementary school. The author has spent time in West Africa and states: “sounds are part of everyday life.” The author begins his book in the African forest. The hyena, owl, buffalo, parrot, monkey and crocodile make their own special sounds as the frogs watch. It is until the end when the frogs discover how to join in.
