Never Play Music Right Next to the Zoo

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Leeza Hernandez. Rhymes, many with klutzy cadence, relate the tale of a boy's concert attendance at an outdoor venue next to a zoo. The child falls asleep and dreams of the animals--yaks on the sax, a bonobo on oboe, etc.--chaotically taking over. Hernandez's silly, rocking digital illustrations steal the show here. A CD of the song performed by Lithgow is included.
