Journey through a jungle in this story about animal sounds, friendship, and music from two of the most beloved contemporary children's books author-poets. Rrrrh! means Let's be friends in tiger talk, but the other animals don't understand him and run away! Maybe the gentle rum-pum-pum of a found drum can help him. Tiger strikes the drum with his tail--and friends start to follow: a monkey who says chee-chee-chee which means I will come too in monkey talk, a rhino who says ouggh which means I will come too in rhino talk, a parrot that says scree-awk, a chameleon, an elephant, and eventually a child--who is now reunited with the drum he lost. Because of the drum, the tiger is no longer lonely. Information about tiger conservation is included in the back.
