Parade
Description
One fine day, a small little mouse decides that he doesn't want cheese, or even lemonade. He wants a parade! Carrying a flag, the mouse starts down the street. He's joined by cats, squirrels, foxes--and even a goat with a tuba! The sound of the animals playing their tambourines, clarinets, and brass follows them as they twirl and romp until every critter, big and small, jams with the beat. Author and illustrator Alexis Braud's funny, spunky animals boogie right off the page. With enchanting illustrations and catchy rhymes, this exuberant and vibrant tale will have you and your friends marching to the beat of your own drummer in no time.
