Synopsis

BOOM biddy BOOM biddy BOOM BOOM BOOM!

What's that noise filling the room?

From this rousing beginning unfolds Christmas Parade, a merry picture book from bestselling author and illustrator, Sandra Boynton.

As the dynamic parade of forty-six quirky animal musicians marches by, young readers will see animals and their instruments in turn: chickens with bassoons, ducks with trombones, mice with piccolos, cow saxophonists, a tiny bird with a large tuba, a glockenspiel pig, even a trumpet-playing Santa rhino - all underscored by marching snares (fifteen hippos, one cat) and one booming bass drum (an intrepid elephant).

Written with the irresistible rhythm of a lively marching band and illustrated by the author with those signature Boynton characters, Christmas Paradeis a superb present for young children and families everywhere.
