Three zoo animals learn there is more satisfaction in making music together than in performing separately.

Kindergarten-Grade 2 Gertrude the hippo, Herman the lion, and Fabio the bear are neighbors in the zoo. Gertrude loves to sing (loudly and horribly), Herman plays (screeches) the violin, and poor Fabio is in utter misery until a little girl gives him her red shoes. Trying them on, he discovers a rhythm he didn't know he possessed. Voila, a dancer is born. Fabio is entranced with his new-found talent, dances all night, and doesn't sleep a wink. Neither do Gertrude or Herman. The cacophony continues, the zoo is noisyvery, very noisyall night long. Miraculously, discord turns to melody as the morning sun appears. Herman harmonizes with Gertrude's new song (sung softer and sweeter than ever before) and Fabio keeps a lilting beat with his quietly tapping feet. Still, the ``music'' leaves much to be desired, but they don't realize this because for once they are all playing together. True harmony is achieved in this delightfully subtle story of consideration and cooperation. Artfully orchestrated with soft, crayon-like pastel illustrations and simple, flowing text, the story is filled with expression and action. Mary Lou Budd, Milford South Elementary School, Ohio
