A Band of Babies

A Band of Babies
by Carole Gerber (Author) and Jane Dyer (Illustrator)

Booktalk: It was just an ordinary day at play group until Benny arrived. With flute in hand and drums in tow, Benny’s love of music inspires the babies to get up and put on a show. Toot! Toot! Whee! Benny and his band of babies are a sight to see!

Snippet:
Play-group morning. Babies fret–
not sure what to do just yet.

TURN THE PAGE

In struts Benny–new in town.
Babies’ frowns turn upside down.
