Be Quiet, Mike!

Even before he was born, Mike started drumming. Kick! Thump! Pow! Wherever he goes, his rhythms sing: swis, thak, go his books; bang, clank, goes the trash can; tap, tap, go his pencils; and "BE QUIET, MIKE!" yells everyone around him. But one day Mike sees a drum set in a store window-- and puts his hands-on talents to work in a most impressive way. With the bold graphic style and clever details her readers love, Leslie Patricelli strikes a cymbal for active, high-energy little monkeys everywhere.

Sadly, folks, good books go out of print and Be Quiet, Mike! is one of them. You can still find used copies for sale online.

Music by my husband, drummer Jason Vontver, and Chris Ballew (aka Caspar Babypants)!
