A glorious chorus with sumptuous illustrations by leading children's book creator Donovan Bixley. A thought-provoking yet fun story with an environmental theme by bestselling, award-winning New Zealand author Donovan Bixley. Hear that glorious chorus, it's soaring uproarious, with the jingle of jungle bells pinging! Discover a fantabulous world where each creature plays its part in perfect harmony, with a honking of horns, a slither of scales and a bumbling buzz in the air. A joy to read aloud, The Fantabulous Animal Orchestra starts off with a roar, but gets quieter and quieter as the animals leave. The orchestra reunites with a flourish, and the story finishes with a bursting, beautiful gatefold. A celebration of biodiversity, this very special book's sumptuously detailed artwork is accompanied by melodious words. This is the wildly talented Donovan Bixley at his best.
