(3) K-3 Illustrated by Erin Bennett Banks. "In the beginning, the African forest had many sounds." Throughout this story, the animals come together to develop a new repertoire of sounds that blends beautifully into a tantalizing chorus. This highly rhythmic tale is well designed not just for reading aloud but also for performance. Bold, joyful oil paintings in deep jungle colors decorate the pages.
