Editorial Reviews

Kids can count their way through the rainforest to a Caribbean beat in the paper-over-board Creepy Crawly Calypso by Tony Langham, illus. by Debbie Harter, which comes packaged with an audio CD. Swarms of insects play instruments, bedecked with sunglasses, derby hats and bowties-including a trio of cockroaches on sax and a half dozen army ants "bearing tiny flutes." Explanations of the instruments and the creatures featured, as well as sheet music, serve as a coda to this bouncy primer. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
