A BAND OF BABIES offers a rhythmic tale about a group of nursery children who follow a charismatic young child named Benny as he leads them on an adventure beginning with a marching band. He leads them to the local grocer where they create quite the commotion. Spilled fruit, unraveled rolls of toilet paper, giggles and more before Benny leads them all safely to the nursery for a nap.

The verse is clever and at first, I worried about these unsupervised toddlers, but the pastel illustrations show us a harried worker following the group. Princess Sophia and Clayton liked the verse well enough, and the mess at the grocer provided a giggle. The illustrations are beautiful, but their gentle and soothing qualities don't quite match up to the vibrant texts.
