Pokko Y El Tambor (Pokko and the Drum) - Hardcover

by Matthew Forsythe (Author), Matthew Forsythe (Illustrator), Alexis Romay (Translator)

El artista Matthew Forsythe, premio de honor del E.B. White Read Aloud, entrega un libro sobre un tambor m gico, un bosque esmeralda y una ranita que se atreve a hacer su propia m sica.

El mayor error de los padres de Pokko fue darle el tambor. Cuando Pokko sale con su tambor a lo profundo del bosque, hay tanta pero tanta quietud que Pokko decide tocar. Y antes de darse cuenta, se le une una banda de animales--primero el mapache, luego el conejo, despu s el lobo--y pronto todo el bosque sigue a Pokko. Escuchar la voz de su padre cuando la llame para que regrese a casa?

Pokko y el tambor es un cuento sobre el arte, la persistencia y una familia de ranas que vive bajo un hongo.
