In the quiet jungle night, a snoring elephant disturbs the snoozing animals' peace. This takes its place in Boynton's great bedtime--board-book oeuvre, next to The Going To Bed Book (1982) and so many others. "It is nighttime in the jungle. / The moon will surely rise. / All the animals are sleeping, / with whisperings and sighs," the story begins. Each turn of the page shows a different dozing animal with its own unique sound. The tiger goes, "ZEEE-ZOOO-HAAA," and the frogs go, "BROPP-BRUPPIT!" Set within Boynton's assured verse, these sounds make for a particularly delicious read-aloud. "But sometime after midnight, / the elephant goes⦠// SNORE! // And whoever had been sleeping / isn't sleeping anymore." Boynton's illustrations include her classic silly touches, like a mouse being blown away by the elephant's snore, and anyone who has ever lain awake at night will recognize the wide, unblinking eyes on the animals at the end. The book also includes a link to download or stream a free copy of famed cellist Yo-Yo Ma's performance of Erik Satie's "Jungle Gymnopédie No. 1." Perhaps even more delightful than the bouncy lullaby is Keith Boynton's rich narration and Ma's "animal snores" on cello, also freely available at the same link. Another sweet Boynton bedtime read-aloud for the family bookshelf. (free audio download) (Board book. 6 mos.-2) Copyright (c) Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
