Illustrated by
Pierr Morgan.
In the cool evening after the heat of Africa's day, animals create a song--zebras stamp their feet, giraffes rattle leaves, and hyenas howl. Translated into words, their song urges people to care for the earth. The illustrations, which begin fairly realistically and become more fanciful as the animals' song spreads, are stunning, but the environmental plea is somewhat simplistic.
