Bookroo's summary
Mike's world is filled with rhythm, from tapping pencils to clanking trash cans. His constant drumming drives everyone to shout, "Be quiet, Mike!" But when he spots a drum set in a store window, his noisy passion might just find its perfect outlet. Can Mike turn his cacophony into a symphony and prove that his beats are more than just noise? Discover how one boy's love for sound leads to an unexpected harmony.
From the publisher
Digga-digga-digga-digga, zat, zoom, crash! Leslie Patricelli’s lovable (but noisy!) character finds an ingenious way to create a sound all his own. 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.
