One small gray cat,
one big ball of red yarn,
music sends them dancing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let the good times roll.
Let them knock you around.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cars’ famous rock and roll anthem<\/a> sends cat and yarn racing across and around and over the pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let the stories be told.
Let them say what they want.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unraveling red yarn creates costumes and landscapes as the gray cat meets an orange cat, and they frolic through the song and its memorable chorus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Let the good times roll!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for reading along as you and your favorite picture book fan listen to the recorded song, fun to read together even if you don’t know the song (yet) .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another immensely enjoyable addition to the LyricPop series<\/a> of medium-format picture books that mesh well-known song lyrics with innovative illustration styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, picture books are everybody books!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What song would you like to see transformed into a book?
