Summary: Tanka Tanka Skunk, Awesome!!!
Review: A skunk named Skunk and an elephant named Tanka love rhythm and rhyme. Skunk and Tanka like to meet different animals like alligator and polar bear. They always make a rhythm with the animals' names by dividing the syllables into beats. Skunk and Tanka also make rhymes out of the animal names. The book is an amazing way to teach syllables. Webb uses rhyme as well as rhythm to emphasize the syllables in the names of animals most children know. The illustrations only add to the magic. The animals are cartoon structure with vibrant colors that catch the audience's eyes. It brings excitement and learning together as one. The classroom becomes full of educated musicians.

Summary: Animals and rhythm
Review: I borrowed this book from the library for my 4 year old son to look at, and it was a success! He can read individual words, but sentences and paragraphs tend to overwhelm him. The animal names (with accompanying illustrations) in large print and arranged in a catchy rhythm had him reading the book to himself. Not great literature, but a fun read.
