Description

Lustrous illustrations and a rhythmic text featuring a cumulative list of sounds bring to life the thrill of an impromptu jam session and the joy of making music together. A drum circle is forming on the beach, and one fascinated child would love to join in. Soon there's everything from a conga's pat-a-pat-a, pat pat to some bongos' taka taka, ta ta-and it looks like so much fun! But what do you do when you don't have a drum Well, when you let the music move you, you just might find other ways to jam, too!
