The sounds downstairs are funky
and we start to wiggle toes.
We flip-flop and we giggle
with sheets up to the nose.
The rhythmâs steady,
the trumpetâs sweet.
Before too long,
weâre on our feet!
After hearing Daddyâs band practicing in the basement, a brother and sister canât resist sneaking out of bed to watch them play. Careful, careful, canât be caught.
Tiptoe past the squeaky spot! They long to join in the fun, but canât be seen out of bedâuntil the discovery of a surprise band member turns the jam session into a family affair.
With an energetic, lyrical text from Kelly J. Baptist, The Band in Our Basement will have readers feeling the beatâright before settling back down for bedtime.
