Book Review of Five Live Bongos

Five Live Bongos
Five Live Bongos
Author: George Ella Lyon
Book Type: School Library Binding


"Bang Crash Artichoke!
Ratta-Tatta Chink!
Daddy couldn't mix his paints
Mama couldn't think."

"Not with five live bongos around...making wonderful sounds with bread pans and pot lids as they drum their way all over the house; and get sent to the garage" where they continue to gather odd objects, "create an amazing musical contraption and invent a name for themselves--The Found Sound Band." Lively, inventive illustrations! This could be a fun read-aloud with listener participation.
