Sandra Boynton And Yo-Yo Ma Collaborate On "Jungle Night"

Book cover for "Jungle Night"
Provided - Sandra Boynton

Take these three ingredients: Artist Sandra Boynton, Yo-Yo Ma & snoozing jungle animals! Stir, mix and you have utter magic.

These celebrated artists come together for Jungle Night, a soothing bedtime board book. (Okay, MOSTLY soothing.)

The book guides us through the jungle to hear the distinctive, gentle snore of each animal: each book has a downloadable Jungle Night recording offers a narration of the book, with each and every animal snore interpreted by the expressive, playful cello of Yo-Yo Ma.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
