The sound of the Hedgehog Band is tremendous . . . and entirely infectious. So much so that all the animals in the woods want to join in--even if they don't have any instruments. With all the resulting drumming and humming and whistling and popping, this book is as happy as a book can be.

Illustrations and simple, rhyming text invite the reader to try various instruments and join a band.

The only other person who could wrangle the rock and roll divas....
