What an odd little story.

[Tracey · Rating 5 out of 5]

A donkey, rooster, a dog and a cat were being poorly treated on a farm that they lived on. One day they all decided that they would run away together and start their own band. The come upon a house on their travels and decide to stay. The only problem is that the inhabitants of the house were a band of robbers. With some funny ploys, they animals get rid of the robbers and live happily ever after in the house. My kind of story where the animals are the winners.

I loved this children's story and the colorful illustrations! I had not read the book as a child and I was delighted to read the story to my eight year old friend!
Will the animals actually become musicians?
