Jungle Night (comes with 2 free audio downloads, Yo-Yo Ma, cello)

Introducing Jungle Night, a worthy companion to the 24-million-copy, perennially bestselling Boynton on Board series. Jungle Night is a fabulously jungly Boynton bedtime board book, in a cool new size. PLUS there’s a free download: a mesmerising 4-minute nighttime soundtrack featuring Yo-Yo Ma on cello, Ron Block (of Alison Krauss Union Station) on guitar, and Keith Boynton narrating. The music is Erik Satie’s beloved “Gymnopédie No. 1” plus cool jungle percussion – making it a “Jungle Gymnopédie.”

Sandra Boynton’s board books are not just books, they are sales events. And no wonder: kids and parents alike love the captivating rhythmic text, the clever humour, and the terrific animal characters. In Jungle Night, Boynton debuts a new, larger format and a more intricate landscape. And everything that makes Boynton…well, BOYNTON…is here: a great cast of characters (Jungle frogs! Wild river-hogs! Even a gorilla!) and language and sounds that are so fun to read aloud. Plus an irresistible flourish of silliness that the youngest readers will love.

Jungle Night is a delightful book to read, with pictures to love, and a great musical track to download – all meant to be savoured over and over, for a family bedtime experience of pure joy.

Sandra Boynton is a popular American cartoonist, children's author, songwriter, producer, and director. Since 1974, Boynton has written and illustrated over sixty children's books and seven general audience books, including five New York Times bestsellers. More than 70 million of her books have been sold, "mostly to friends and family," she says. She has also written (with Michael Ford) and produced six albums of renegade children's music. Three of her albums have been certified Gold (over 500,000 copies sold), and Philadelphia Chickens, nominated for a Grammy, has gone Platinum (over 1 million copies sold). Boynton has also directed twelve music videos of her songs, including the award-winning "One Shoe Blues" starring B.B. King, "Alligator Stroll" starring Josh Turner, and "Tyrannosaurus Funk" (animation) sung by Samuel L. Jackson. She lives in rural New England, and her studio is in a barn with perhaps the only hippopotamus weathervane in America.
