review 1: So fun! The sing-along aspect is a winner (to the tune of "This old man", or is it "Knick knack paddy wack"?) which I'd have LOVED as a kid. Great for a read-aloud.And it's sure to be re-read many times as youngsters try to remember the crazy phrases that repeat in every verse, slightly altered each time. If I had littlies, I know this would be a bedtime - or classroom - favorite!
review 2: THIS OLD BAND is a fun sing-a-long story featuring a group of cowboys and cowgirls out in the wild playing music to the tune of ‘This Old Band.’ The beautifully atmospheric spreads take us from morning to night, counting down from ten to one, as the whole band plays their song. It is the perfect book to read (or sing) aloud. I thoroughly enjoyed multiple read-throughs of
... more this upbeat, colourful, and cleverly-written picture book. The story is so well done, taking musical inspiration from (mostly) everyday objects, and the illustrations are magnificent. Catchy and charming — I loved it! less

Cute remake of "This old man." Could be a tad long for storytime, but it's good enough for a try.
