Description: "This upbeat picture book--a companion to Ride, Roll, Run: Time for Fun!--follows the nine children from the first book as they help plan a big, musical block party. Author and educator Valerie Bolling's rhyming text makes for a rollicking read-aloud and features instruments from all around the world including the agogão, banjo, daegeum, djembe drums, double bass, erhu, maracas, piano, steel drums, and trumpet. Sabrena Khadija's stunning illustrations depict the joy of dancing, playing music, and feasting with neighbors and friends. Readers will clamor to plan jam sessions of their own!"--
