Description


Does your buffalo pound on pots and pans
Tap out rhythms at the dinner table
Its not as unusual as you might think.
Hes simply at the start of an exciting new journey.
A very loud musical journey that begins by teaching your buffalo to play drums.

From the duo behind Is Your Buffalo Ready for Kindergarten, Teach Your Buffalo to Play Drums is a hilarious musical romp about encouraging your buffalo to find his inner rock star.


Reviews

"Several small pictures appear on most pages, surrounded by ample white space, showing the huge animal trying to engage in human activities like skateboarding and showering, resulting in some very funny scenarios. " -- School Library Journal

Praise for IS YOUR BUFFALO READY FOR KINDERGARTEN: "This story's simple lesson about individuality is cleverly expressed through Vernick's gentle wit and Jennewein's crayon-outlined kindergartners--most of all, the furry and ungainly reader surrogate with whom kids will readily relate." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Praise for IS YOUR BUFFALO READY FOR KINDERGARTEN: "As an embodiment of school anxiety, this buffalo leads the herd-plus, he's got a hump." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for IS YOUR BUFFALO READY FOR KINDERGARTEN: "Vernick's amusing tale will prove handy as a first-day-of-school book recommendation for children and teachers alike." -- School Library Journal
