Barn Dance! (Reading Rainbow Books)

by Bill Martin (Author) Ted Rand (Illustrator)

Barn Dance! (Reading Rainbow Books)
Reading Level: 2nd − 3rd Grade
In an old farmhouse, bathed in the light of a full moon, a young boy creeps to his bedroom window and looks outside. Was that a voice he just heard, or the hooting of an owl? There it is again: Come a little closer...Come a little closer...Listen to the night...There's music in the air...Beckoned by the voice, the boy sneaks downstairs, out the door, and walks toward the barn. As he gets closer he hears the sweet sound of a country fiddler and the rhythmic thumping of dancing feet. But who could possibly be having a barn dance in the middle of the night?

A fun-filled romp, ideal for reading aloud."—"Childhood Education""A rousing, rowdy tale pulsing with the rhythm of country music....Rand's raucous...watercolor spreads are as spirited as the story poem."—"Booklist"
