Jungle Drums
by Graeme Base

Why do the jungle animals tease Ngiri Mdogo, a little warthog?

Why are all of the jungle animals are jealous of the Other Animals that live across the River?

What will happen when the wise old wildebeest gives Nigri a set of magic bongo drums that will grant any wish? But what should Nigri wish for?

When Nigri wishes and the animals' stripes, plumes, and spots all get mixed up, chaos breaks out in the jungle! You will love this story that shows how one little jungle animal can live with HONOR even when others are cruel to him.

Watch for the old wildebeest who is hidden inside every picture, watching over the little warthog!
