Product Description
Book Description
This innovative, visually stunning picture book introduces simple rhythmic patterns to the youngest children in a riot of wonderful shout-out-loud words and cavorting animals.
Product Description
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 for you to meet, so say their names to the Tanka Skunka beat! Lemurs, llamas, zebras, badgers, caterpillars, big GORILLAS and yakety, yakety yaks. The book takes the reader on a veritable roller-coaster ride of sights and sounds as animals leap and dance across the brightly coloured pages. Terrific fun to read aloud one to one with a small child, and an absolute riot for group activities.

Format:Hardcover
Not only does this book help children get to grips with breaking down syllables to help them to learn to read and teach them musical rythms, it is also incredible fun - if learning at school was this much fun we'd all be genius's. I've bought it for every child I know - just so I can sing, or more accurately, shout along with them!!
It's a child's dream come true to have a licence to be noisy - and in the name of learning!! No more sitting quietly in the corner reading - sorry Mum's & Dad's.

Format:Paperback
My 9month old adores this book. The words rhyme and the pictures are big and bold with vibrant colours. It does take a bit of practice to get the words in the right order when you read it at speed. Your little one(and you)will love it but it's not a quiet night time read!
Format:Paperback
This was a lucky find at the library and we have really enjoyed it. It is based around rhythm and beat, and my 4 yr old daughter loves it. I might try this with a drum or similar tomorrow, I think it would work very well. My daughter loves it and the bonus is that it is quite short, so not one of those bedtime stories that goes on forever! Though possibly not that soothing to a sleepy child :-)

My son is now 18 months and loves this book too. We originally got it out of the library but it was read so many times we had to take it back and get our own copy. Read more
