What a Performance

Uh-oh, Cub is in big trouble!  He's been caught doing something he shouldn't be doing, and now he's going to have to make up for it.

But Cub has come up with a great idea. The jungle animals will form an orchestra to play 'Happy Birthday' for his mother. The way-out descriptions of the instruments, selecting who will play each one and the difficulties of playing them are all hilarious. Imagine a giraffe playing a double bass and a zebra on a trumpet. What could possibly go wrong?

How will the performance turn out, particularly with a couple of trouble-makers in the wings?

Along the way, learn about the instruments in the four sections of a symphony orchestra.

A story for 6-10 year-olds or can be read to younger children.
