Boom, Baby, Boom, Boom! (Picture Puffin S.) - Tapa blanda

Mum makes lunch for baby and decides to play her drums while baby is eating. The rhythm draws the animals to the window and they spy baby's lunch. The animals creep in and baby gives them her lunch - MEW-MEW-MEW says the yellow cat as she eats the cheese, MOO-MOO-MOO says the brown and white cow with its carrot and BOW-WOW-WOW says the brown dog as he gets his bread and honey. Then Mum stops drumming, the animals run out and baby eats a banana - YUM-YUM-YUM!
