Mama don't allow Book

I've only seen a few episodes of The Reading Rainbow with our girls and now that the series is off the air, I am sad that they missed out on some of the stories, like this one. We picked this one out at the library because of it's vibrant colors and interesting cover illustration.

The story was entertaining, with a somewhat surprising sinister undertone at the end. It's a fun book to read aloud, especially if you can exaggerate the awful noise the beginner band makes.

This book was selected as one of the books for the May 2018 - Boston Globe-Horn Book Picture Book Award Winners 1983-1990 discussion at the Picture-Book Club in the Children's Books Group here at Goodreads.
