Chuck's Band

Chuck and his barnyard friends are having a jam session and beginning readers are invited for a toe-tapping, knee-slapping good time. But what is the matter with Fat Cat Pat? Does she want her own musical instrument too, or is something else making that cat blue? Readers will have fun finding out in this perfectly pitched story! Full of rhyme, repetition, and musical instruments galore.
