Description

One night at the Hotel Midnight, the lyrics written and sung by jazz musician Rat are those inspired by his friendship with Bat, who plays the piano and writes the tunes.

Quick Summary

At the mysterious Hotel Midnight, a jazz-playing rat and a piano-pounding bat create music together that turns an ordinary night into something magical. Kids will love how two completely different characters become The Best Birthday Mole Ever Had of friends through their shared love of music, and the toe-tapping rhythm of the story makes it perfect for reading aloud. If your kid loves "The Bad Guys" by Aaron Blabey or "Elephant & Piggie" by Mo Willems, they'll adore this tale of an unexpected duo who prove that opposites really do make The Best Birthday Mole Ever Had friends. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who enjoy stories about friendship, music, or animals doing something unexpectedly wonderful.
