A jungle rings with the loud calls of elephants, rhinos, hornbills, and apes, but Tapir and Little Tapir travel without making a sound. Their silence stands apart from the surrounding animal noise. When a hunter enters the jungle, the other animals come to understand the importance of being quiet. Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations convey the jungle’s sounds in this pourquoi-style animal tale.
