This tale of an animal musical band will enchant you and captivate your imagination! A young boy in an orphanage loves to play his trombone and, unbeknown to him, the animals in the nearby forest are charmed by his playing. They have formed a band and as it happens they need a trombone player! What is more, the young boy discovers he has a gift to hear and talk to animalsÑand imagine his surprise when the stray dog thatÕs always hanging about the kitchen for scraps speaks to him and invites him to join their band! And what a band! You could call it ÔThe AnimalsÕ! ThereÕs the leader, a cobra snake that wears a long scarf. ThereÕs a lady snake Coral, a mongoose that carries a white chicken (his Ôready mealÕ!), a red monkey, a black pig, an armadillo, a skunk and an elephantÑand they all make the most beautiful music for the King, the biggest lion youÕve ever seen!
