Special Book Review

"The All Animal Band"
READ MORE ABOUT THIS ITEM Animals in the real world, are extraordinary creatures, so it isn't a surprise to see them playing in a band in a children's book. What child wouldn't enjoy reading about animals making music?

In the book, "The All Animal Band," by Jim Moore, Willie the Squirrel becomes interested in playing music after watching some humans play in a nightly band. He gets the idea to form an "All Animal Band," and invites some of his friends to join. After building their instruments, practicing their vocals, and perfecting their harmony, they perform for all the animals in the forest. They're a hit with the audience, especially the human who Willie watched play in his own band! It turns out that he's a talent agent and promises to make the band famous.

MyParenTime.com highly recommends this book -- what a sweet story! The illustrations are colorful, the characters are positive, imaginative, and the animals all work well with each other. In addition, there's a fun bonus on many of the pages throughout the book -- hidden pictures! Even though this story is make-believe, it is sure to teach children positive qualities, such as working hard to reach a goal, team work, and following their dreams. I wish the story didn't end -- I would have liked to follow the All Animal Band along their musical journey :).
