The book by Jeanette Winter is the story of Peg Leg Pete and his work with the Underground Railroad. The video celebrates the road to freedom, and teaches about the history, heroes, stories and music of African-Americans.

In the story by Jonathan London, a cat creates a sound all his own and sees how the rhyme and rhythms affect his audience.

Thacher Hurd's great story about Miles the Possum who gets a new sax. No more loud music at home!  So he forms Swamp Band and gets a gig with the alligators.

In the book by Mildred Pitts Walter, Ty meets a mysterius man who uses a washboard, comb, spooons and a pail to create a one-man band of found sounds.

Storybook in paperback and on Rabbit Ears DVD.

This Emmy Award-winning series inspires a love of reading in PreK-3, and offers an excellent introduction to many varieties of music through the medium of the best children's literature. Highly recommended.

A Bright and Early board book with great rhyme and rhythm!
