This colorful book is full of crazy drumming monkeys, lemurs, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. They play percussion instruments of all kinds in a joyful celebration. But when little Baboon wants to play his triangle they keep telling him, “Soon, Baboon, soon.” Finally Baboon gets his chance to shine and with a “ting” of the triangle the audience goes wild.

The jazzy rhyming text is very brief, just a word or two per page, and is full of onomatopoeias. The painterly illustrations feature primates of all kinds, some playing with abandon, others with blasé attitudes. The purple and white endpapers are covered with different types of percussion instruments, from a conga to a trap set, a tambourine to pots and pans.
