I Like the Music
I like the music
When the junkman finds a blues stick
And shabops-it
On the tops-it
Of the garbage cans. But Grandma says the symphony's the place to be. The little girl doesn't want to go -- she likes the music in the street. Then she finds out Grandma's not taking her to an ordinary concert; it's an outside concert, at night, in the park! And there's a special surprise waiting for her that would make anyone like the music.

This is my all-time-favorite children's book because the syncopated cadences in reading it make it fun to read. Its out of print, so i buy any used copies I can find to give away as gifts.
