Rum Pum Pum

By Jane Yolen, David L Harrison, David L. Harrison

Book Overview

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 follow: 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.
