| JungleDrums, a new picture book
from Graeme Base, offers a story about Ngiri. Little Ngiri is the Smallest
Warthog in Africa. Tired of being teased by his bigger brothers and sisters, he
wishes things could be different. When Old Nyumbu the Wildebeest gives Ngiri a
set of magic drums, he is sure his wish is about to come true. But all the
animals of the jungle are in for a BIG surprise as Ngiri's wish is granted in a
most unexpected way. In the end, the gentle message that inner beauty and
change is more important than outer beauty rings true. In true Graeme Base
style, there is an added surprise at the end of the book. Everything seems to
be normal in the jungle, but look closely and you will see that none of the
animals or the other creatures watching from the trees are quite the way they
were when the book began. Look even closer, and you will also find Old Nyumbu
the Wildebeest hidden somewhere on every spread. "Jungle Drums is a book to be
read over and over again.
