Review:
This delightful story starts with the two sisters, Charlotte and Penelope, waking up feeling a bit under the weather and unable to head outside for fun. But guess what? Their lively and loyal friends from the Menagerie are ready to cheer them up! They decide to put on a fantastic neighborhood show to make everyone smile.
From a dolphin bandleader to a lively chorus of rabbits and even the loudest geese you’ve ever heard, the animals really pull out all the stops. The story is told in clever rhymes, and each animal friend adds their own special touch to the performance. It’s a joyful and imaginative tale celebrating friendship, creativity, and how a little community support can brighten even the gloomiest day—even from bed!
Dan McGeehan’s vibrant illustrations are full of energy and charm, making this book as fun to look at as it is to read aloud. It’s perfect for kids ages 4–8, especially those who love animals, music, and a splash of theatrical fun!
