Finn's Marching Band is the tale of a little yellow duck who lacks confidence. With the encouragement of his barnyard friends, Finn discovers that although he is small, he is a leader worth following. Weaved throughout the story are the concepts of counting from one to ten, basic colors, various musical instruments, and their sounds. The rhythmic repetition invites children to interact and, page by page, to join the marching band with the cows, goats, hens, and other animals. Young readers will absorb the educational concepts while marching, dancing, and playing, and they will embrace the empowering "I Can" message of Finn's Marching Band as a part of their own inner rhythm. +
