Six animal friends decide to clean up their jungle home, make musical instruments from the junk, and start an orchestra.

When six animal friends see their beautiful jungle home covered in trash, they are all shocked and dismayed. But Monkey has a plan to return their home to perfection! What if they collect all the trash, turn it into musical instruments, and start a "junkstrument" orchestra? In this amusing tale told in lyrical and rhyming language, with hilarious made-up words, children will learn the importance of working as a team, not dropping trash, and of reusing and recycling.
