Skippy the Dog in the Band (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798318832604)

Skippy is a dog who loves music and dreams of finding a place where he truly belongs. While waiting at the dog pound, he listens to music from a nearby ice cream truck and can't help wagging his tail perfectly to the beat.

When Skippy is finally adopted by Uncle Tony, he discovers a home filled with love, laughter, and music. But Skippy's biggest dream is still ahead-marching in a band just like Dad, who plays trumpet in the town parades. No matter how many times he's told he can't join, Skippy keeps practicing, wagging his tail in time, and believing in himself.

Set during the excitement of Bristol, Rhode Island's famous Fourth of July Parade, Skippy the Dog in the Band is a heartwarming picture book inspired by a true story. Filled with music, determination, and a lovable hero, Skippy's journey encourages young readers to be patient, stay hopeful, and never give up on their dreams.
