Catfish Kate and the Sweet Swamp Band by Sarah Weeks, illustrated by Elwood H. Smith

PreK-2. A rhythmic text that begs to be a part of a musical storytime, this story features Catfish Kate and her all girl band. Skink and his Skunktail Boys demand peace and quiet so they can read and so follows the battle underneath the moon to see what will prevail: music or silence? Luckily the two warring groups find a compromise in the cattails found around the swamp.

The added fun with this book is the opportunity to make up your own tune!
