What happens when a penguin with a magic trumpet comes to town? Flowers pop up, butterflies flutter, and gray skies disappear! When the forest animals offer their best snacks for a turn, the penguin ends up with a feast. And where does he go with all that food? On a surprise trip to the North Pole to see a polar bear! A charming tale of magic, sharing, and unexpected friendships.
Night Song is part of the Music in the Forest series, created by Wen Aining. Through the gentle tones of the violin, the powerful beats of the drum, the magical sounds of the trumpet, and the melodious notes of the flute, children discover the beauty of music and the power of friendship. Music is full of magic, and friendship creates miracles.
