![]() ![]() The flaps are large and sturdy, and enough of the animals’ characteristic features are visible under and around the costumes that little ones will be able to make successful guesses even on the first reading. Not to be left out, Little Blue has a costume, too. ‘It’s me! It’s me!’ ” The sheep is disguised as a clown, the cow’s a queen, the pig’s a witch, the hen and her chick are pirates, and the horse is a dragon. “Who’s that in a tutu / striking a pose / up on the tiniest / tips of her toes? / Under the mask / who do you see?” Lifting the flap unmasks a friend: “ ‘Quack!’ says the duck. ‘It’s Halloween!’ / You come, too.” As they drive, they are surprised (and joined) by many of their friends in costume. Little Blue Truck and his buddy Toad are off to a party, and they invite readers (and a black cat) along for the ride: “ ‘Beep! Beep! Beep!’ / says Little Blue. 2-4)Ī lift-the-flap book gives the littlest trick-or-treaters some practice identifying partygoers under their costumes. Ketteman sets a you-can’t-help-but-chant-it verse pattern that incorporates a different onomatopoeic sound for each animal, from the dragonfly’s “whir, whirr, whirrity-whirr” to the fox squirrel’s “chit, chee, chittety-chee.” These set the stage for a musical jamboree in which all 13 animals complete this satisfying presentation, performing their signature moves and tones one at a time, handing off the final “TIP, TAP, TAP” to Old Man Gator. Each double-page spread introduces a new animal-aerial creatures such as the ibis and the wood stork, land animals such as the black bear and the pygmy rattler and water creatures such as the bullfrog and the river otter-making for a comfortable mix of the familiar and unfamiliar.

Joe Strummer did an amazing set after the RCHP in 2000 and the Flaming Lips will live in infamy for their costume filled closing act in 2005. Playing the last ever gig at the BDO, Noel had some big shoes to fill. I saw that show - it was pretty crazy, Liam was drunk, Noel stormed out! I have no recollection of it at all! My tour manager informed me I may have had an impromptu sing song round a piano in a hotel bar with that singer Joe Cocker!! I don't remember that at all!! Scary, eh?" One rhymed with Garden and the other was Noel Gallagher. There were two reasons two go to the Auckland Big Day Out in 2012. You could blow my mind if you're that way inclined I think those things are better left unsaid No need to shout, what you bitchin' about?
