review 1: "Bump Budda Budda Bump, TAT TATTA TAT TAT! BOOOOOOOOM!I think your buffalo is trying to tell you something. He was born to play drums. You have to teach him how."There are so many challenges for a buffalo who wants to play drums - what to sit on, how to hold drumsticks with his hooves, where to bang away without disturbing the neighborhood (it can be really loud!) and how to share his talent with others.Simple, colorful drawings depicting scenes both familiar and ridiculous, make this a fun picture book to share with a child. This buffalo's emotions are easy to read and are a perfect fit with the silly text.In case you missed it, the first buffalo book by Vernick, Is Your Buffalo Ready For Kindergarten? is also a delight and just right for back-to-school rea... moreding.
review 2: I think that the illustrations are what turn this from a pretty good story into a very good one. In the previous Buffalo book, Audrey Vernick used the very basic idea of substituting a buffalo for a small child in a familiar situation. Carrying this onward, this volume is about what happens when the Buffalo hints at wanting music lessons. Like most Buffaloes, though, this one has asked for a lot of things in the past, and has had a very short attention span. As a result, the closet is full of unused scuba gear, ice skates and Chinese language lessons. This time for sure, though, Buffalo wants to learn to play the drums.Children want to experiment with the world, and the Buffalo books are a clever way of discussing that both with children and their parents. The delightful excesses are comedic when couched in terms of a buffalo in the kitchen, or learning to play the drums.Kids will like this book, but parents and teachers really need to read it. less
