Bookaday #40. A nighttime trip through the South American rainforest. The rhyming text mostly flows smoothly and is in a bold font, but the transition from narrative to the rhyming text is a bit jarring.

A little long but some of the song parts could be omitted, great colorful illustrations

I loved this book! The pictures were bright and bold, easy to see the different animals. The story was sweet and flowing.
