Funny, busy, and colorful illustrations help tell the story of a man who wants to buy a didgeridoo. The store owner repeatedly tells him, "We didgeridon't." But the man doesn't give up and explains in great detail (using TONS of fun words that rhyme with didgeridoo) how, where, why, and with whom he plans to use the didgeridoo. This would be a great story to introduce children to some instruments with which they may not be familiar. The ending is also very funny, although I found myself just abo...more
This book is a great bit of whimsy. The story centers on a zany music store customer asking for a didgeridoo and an increasingly flustered store owner who continues to insist that "No, we didgeridon't." With this basic premise, Page has wrapped each page in a rollicking funny rhyme and illustrator Sara Baker has created hilarious images to match. In particular her illustrations of the store owner, and his very expressive face our not to be missed. Lots of fun!
Love reading this book out loud to my camp kids and making them sing the refrain. The end always catches them by surprise.
Great pictures- vibrant and whimsical that catch the eye. I take time to point things out they might miss and they don't mind because it is so musical to read! Love it!

This book has very colorful illustrations! I found this because I was teaching a lesson about different types of instruments. The language they use is funny and my kids love to say the name of the instrument!
Cute book with lots of instruments. The story is great and the illustrations are awesome. They remind me of the Beatles and Sergeant Pepper. Great for discussing unfamiliar musical instruments. K-2
This is a silly book about music. The character wants to buy a didgeridoo and play music. This book has rhyming in it and very colorful illustrations. This book could be read and we can see do the students hear the rhyming words.
Loved the intro to a new musical instrument, the rhyming, and repetition. The kids were repeating along with me even though they have never heard this book before. Awesome!
Cute book, it was gift from a collegiate due my love for the instrument. So cute.
The illustrations and the story are fun. My six year old giggled.
This is a very fun and silly book.
THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!
In this silly little story with a very unexpected ending, you can feel the frustration in the storekeeper as one customer repeatedly asks for a didgeridoo. This book is a great attention grabber and can be used at an elementary level to introduce a lesson on rhyming.
