A Nicely Noisy Picture Book for Getting the Sillies Out Before Bed

Snap, poom-poom, jingle jangle! Author and musician Jonty Howley will have you tapping your feet and singing along to The Animal Song.

Three animal friends decide to form a traveling band, playing “The Animal Song” for delighted audiences from spring to fall. When winter comes, it’s time for their audience to go to sleep. Skipping their own bedtime, the musical trio parades through the forest in search of new music lovers, moving on to the next performance until—Snore! Phew! Grumble-grumble—even the band falls asleep!

The Animal Song features a link to original music composed by Jonty Howley so that readers can enjoy the sounds of “The Animal Song” before they follow the animals by drifting off into dreamland.

A rhythmic text interspersed with onomatopoeia make the story in The Animal Song nicely noisy until the very end when–shh!–everyone is asleep. Featuring a website with original music composed by the author/illustrator, this book is perfect for helping young readers to get their sillies out right before it’s time to sleep!
