The Talent Show
(3 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Andersen Press
When four friends see a sign for a talent show, they decide that they simply must enter!
They laugh at the small red bird who wants to join in too and head back to their house to practise together (‘the bear and lion, snake and croc played tunes that made the whole house rock’) but they soon realise that they are missing a vital ingredient – a singer!
Auditions are held and once again the friends reject the red bird, saying he’s just too small. However, the bird dons a cunning disguise, which helps him get into the band and prove that appearance should be no barrier to making really great music!
This humorous and delightfully illustrated book gently plays on the national obsession with talent shows but also carries a more serious message about looking for substance over style and the importance of working as a team.

I've just shared this book with my little girl. She loved the rhymes and pointing at the animal friends on each page as she helped me turn them :)

we shared this book before bed and my son loved it. The animals and the music really got him interested

My then 2-year-old loved this book. I liked the illustrations and the music, but I felt like the band members were mean for rejecting the bird and never really made up for it.
