Books Kids Will Love RATING: BB
Book: The All Animals Band
By Jim Moore
Illustrated by Norris Hall
Recommended for ages 3-6
.
In Moore’s tale, five animal friends form an all animal band and are discovered by a talent agent that is determined to make them famous.
There is Willie the Squirrel, who plays the head guitar; Ollie the Owl, who plays bass; Slick the Snake, who doesn’t have any hands, so he beats the drums; Fredi the Frog, who taps the tambourine; and Dan the Dog, the band’s lead singer.
Moore transformed his 1989 song into a captivating children’s tale. I love the hidden images throughout the colorfully illustrated book by Norris Hall. Children will love viewing the tale as much as listening to it.
Once again, it is the cost of the hardcover, that makes this recommendation a book to borrow from the library. The plus, it does come with a CD.
