(3) K-3 Illustrated by Kent Culotta. Taxi driver Dan goes from home to home collecting musicians (e.g., "Here's Maureen with her tambourine") and takes them to the music club. From the stage the band realizes that there's something missing: Dan. This cumulative tale is so invigorating and the ending so right that young readers may not notice that there's hardly a child anywhere in the giddy-making illustrations.
