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.
