Duck is a solo act. He loves the peace and solitude of his beachside home, strumming his ukulele beneath the stars. After helping stranded band players Bear, Fox, and Seagull fix their broken-down tour van, he has tons of fun playing songs and hanging out with his new friends.
Maybe he could ask the Band if they want to play with him again. But why would they want to be friends with Duck?
When Seagull gets sick, it looks like the concert will get canceled. Or will Duck drum up the courage and accept Bear’s invitation to join the Band? Will Duck help his new friends out?
Evaluation comments:
“Band Together is wonderful. Such a perfectly honed text shows a duck in solitude and how he moves out of his quiet comfort zone to join in on the fun with a band.”
“An easy-to-read book about taking chances and developing friendships.”
“I like the simplicity of this book. As a preschool teacher, I am always looking for books to go with various themes and books like this can be read during a variety of themes. Each band member is a different animal (bear, fox, chicken) and there are other animals throughout the book. They also are a band and play instruments such as the guitar, horn and drums- so great for music week. It also goes with themes of making friends (which we also just did a couple weeks ago!)”
“I would buy this for my preschool class or a new teacher to start his or her collection. Also makes a great gift for a child’s personal library.”
“Super cute, simple book — perfect for preschool.”
