Absolute Best Book

This is the absolute best book! My four year old and two year old laugh so hard over this book, and we talk about it constantly - which "guys" we like best, what instruments they're playing, how they're dancing, what a mess they're making, who's friends with whom, who's leaving with whom, etc. We LOVE it!

Best book I've read to my 4 year olds

Can't think of enough accolades for this one. The text is funny for both kids and adults and the pictures really convey the movement of the words. Lots of funky animals thrown in (including the capybara waiters), all of them having a great time ("The apes play bass / A crocodile croons / With an all-girl band / Of blue baboons"). I have even read this book after my kids were asleep.

Great fun--almost impossible to read it without singing!

This book combines three things kids (and cool grown-ups) love: exotic animals, colorful pictures, and a funky beat. My two-year-olds love this book and we love reading (or singing) it to them.

excellent book for toddlers and adults

My toddler loves this book! Best of all, my husband loves reading it to her because the verse and pictures are so much fun. The pictures are detailed and beautifully done! Highly recommended.

This book is a BLAST! (and my son thought so, too)

The rhyming text makes this book fun to read as well as hear. The pictures are wonderfully colorful and fun, too. Both adults and kids will love it!
