Publisher Description

Winner of the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Word Album for Children, this high-energy production is foot-stomping fun. Tom Chapin's easy-going narration sets the tone for this story about Miles and his Swamp Band, whose music is in hot demand - from sharp-toothed alligators at an all-night ball where the band is earmarked to entertain and be the main course! Jazzy music plays throughout as Chapin both reads and sings this entertaining book.

"Miles and his friends make up a Swamp Band. No one wants to hear their music except for the alligators in the swamp. But when they are done playing, the alligators are hungry and the swamp band has to think fast to get themselves out of trouble! "
