Rum Pum Pum

Journey through a jungle in this story about animal sounds, friendship, and music from two of the most beloved contemporary children's books author-poets."Rrrrh!" means "Let's be friends" in tiger talk, but the other animals don't understand him and run away! Maybe the gentle "rum-pum-pum" of a found drum can help him.Tiger strikes the drum with his tail--and friends start to a monkey who says "chee-chee-chee" which means "I will come too" in monkey talk, a rhino who says "ouggh" which means "I will come too" in rhino talk, a parrot that says "scree-awk," a chameleon, an elephant, and eventually a child--who is now reunited with the drum he lost. Because of the drum, the tiger is no longer lonely.Information about tiger conservation is included in the back.
