The Jungle Drum
A jungle adventure about a lost drumbeat, an elephant who listens and the child who brings the music back
The jungle has gone quiet. The animals have forgotten their song, and only a very old elephant remembers that there used to be a drum. Your child follows the river, meets the monkeys, the toucan and a sleepy tiger, and finds the beat that wakes the whole forest up.

“The Jungle Drum” is a personalized jungle adventure where your child is the explorer, by name and by face, who brings the music back to a forest that forgot how to sing.
An old elephant tells your child that the jungle once had a drum and a song, and that both have been lost. So the journey begins: down the river on a leaf-boat, up through the monkey trees, past the toucan who sings out of tune, across the log where a tiger sleeps. Each animal gives a piece of the rhythm, and at the hidden temple your child finds the drum itself. The last spreads are pure joy: every animal in the forest playing together, with your child keeping the beat.

No. The tiger is asleep on a log and, when woken gently, turns out to be a purring, slightly grumpy friend who lends the story its deepest rhythm. There is no danger and no chasing anywhere in the book.
