One bird band by Sacha Cotter and Josh Morgan

The one bird band is walking through the jungle playing his music when he comes upon a sad elephant, and the bird shares one of his instruments with the elephant to cheer it up. The bird then continues on his way, encountering more sad animals. Each time he encounters another sad animal he shares another of his instruments until he realizes he has none left. The bird then starts to feel sad. The other animals see this and together they make a friend band.

The illustrations in this book are bright and eye catching without being cluttered.

This book highlights that sharing with others can have a positive outcome for all. Teacher's notes are available.

I highly recommend this book.
