Steve Webb (1) (1967–)

There's no story here, just a kind of rhythmic chant using animal names. It's pretty fun. Should you choose to read this to young ones, though, I warn you that it could go on forever because the last page says to read it again only faster.

Tanka and his friend Skunk love to say their names to the beat of the drum. These two friends experiment with different animal names and the rhythm and rhymes they make. This is a fun book for young readers with the vibrate illustrations and large print. I am amazed that this is Steve Webb's first picture book! What a fun and cute book?

My 2-year-old loves this book. It's got a great rhythm that races you through the text. It's a bit of a tongue-twister in places (or maybe that's just me!). It also manages to squeeze in lots of different construction vehicles AND have a bit of a plot.
