Illustrated by Kate Hindley

Published by Nosy Crow

Who wants to join the marching band? EVERYONE is welcome in this energetic, anarchic adventure with artwork by award-winning Littlest Yak illustrator Kate Hindley.

Kate Hindley's picture books have sold over 180,000 copies and have won awards including the Sainsbury's Children's Book Award, and Oscar's Book Prize.

This band gets bigger and louder on every page! Watch out for wrecking balls on the building site, tigers roaring in the jungle and yetis on the mountain. Everyone wants to join the fun . . . even aliens in outer space! Then it's time to zoom back home, wishing everyone goodnight, one by one.

  • Addictive rhyming text and fun repeated words.

  • Wind-down to bedtime at the end of the story.

  • Funny detailed scenes including a building site, a beach, a jungle and outer space.

  • Encourages counting skills - count all 10 members of the marching band!

Get ready to stomp your feet and march along in time with the band, and have lots of adventures and laughs along the way!
