Leslie Patricelli's lovable (but noisy!) character finds an ingenious way to create a sound all his own.</b> <p/>Even before he was born, Mike started drumming. Kick! Thump! Pow! Wherever he goes, his rhythms sing: swis, thak, go his books; bang, clank, goes the trash can; tap, tap, go his pencils; and "BE QUIET, MIKE!" yells everyone around him.
