Dance by the Light of the Moon

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Guy Francis. In this story inspired by the old dance hall tune "Buffalo Gals," various animals (one a buffalo) dress up to meet their cross-species beaus at a moonlit barn dance. The broadly drawn illustrations are appropriately old-timey, while sly details (e.g., Patty Ann Pig is reading In Sty magazine) add contemporary humor. Music and lyrics are included.
