 The biggest mistake Pokko’s parents ever made was giving her a drum. They suggest that she take it out into the forest because it is too loud for a frog family that lives in a mushroom and doesn’t like drawing attention to themselves. Pokko agrees. As she plays her drum, a raccoon playing a banjo starts following her. And then a rabbit playing a trumpet starts following them. A wolf joins in and soon there is a crowd of animals playing instruments. Pokko’s father calls her to dinner, but she can’t hear him. The band even takes Pokko’s family into the woods. The amusing, lush illustrations were rendered in watercolor, gouache, and colored pencil. mjw |
