Illustrated by
Guy Parker-Rees.
Farmer Joe--a hound in overalls--decides to lift everyone's spirits by playing a song on the guitar. Fox, Rabbit, and Bear all join in with their instruments, and soon the entire farm is moving to the music. The rhyming (sometimes forced and singsongy) text is well matched by the jolly, brightly colored illustrations.
