Description

This book is a retelling in very simple language of a Bremen-Town musicians folktale.

Quick Summary

If you're looking for a sweet, simple story about friendship and making the best of getting older, this is a lovely little pick. It's a kid-friendly retelling of the classic Bremen Town Musicians tale, where four old animals each one no longer useful to their owners decide to stick together and head off on an adventure. The animals banding together to create music and chase away some grumpy bandits makes for a fun, reassuring message that there's always a place where you belong. Young readers just starting out will love the short sentences and easy words, while the animal characters and silly sounds they make give parents plenty of chances to do funny voices. It's perfect for kids who enjoy animal stories or anyone who likes tales about unlikely friends working as a team. If your child finishes this and wants more, "The Bremen Town Musicians" by the Grimm Brothers is the classic version they can grow into later.
