Simple rhythmic patterns in a riot of shout-out-loud words and cavorting animals. Meet Tanka the elephant and his friend Skunka. Say their names together and they sound like drums. Tanka, Skunka, Tanka, Skunka, Tanka Tanka Skunk! They have lots of friends  lemurs, llamas, zebras, big GORILLAS and yakety, yakety yaks. It's a roller-coaster ride of sights and sounds and terrific fun to read aloud.
