The Best Sound in the World, Wume Cindy

The Sun: Simply charming

Roy is a lion and a sound catcher. He catches the sounds of the city and makes them into music, trying to avoid the annoying attentions of his neighbour, Jemmy. Feeling like his music isnt good enough, Roy goes on a journey to find the best sound in the world for inspiration. He hears the pitter-patter of the rain in the forest, the wind whistling through the desert and the hustle and bustle of the souk at sunrise, but none of it helps - he cant decide which is the best sound. Just as hes about to give up, he hears a familiar voice... can Jemmy teach him that perhaps there are lots of beautiful sounds, not just one, and that for Jemmy, Roys music is the best of all? This gorgeous debut picture book is both a lesson in subjectivity and a heart-warming tribute to the power of friendship.
