Bookroo's summary

The little bears are ready to make some noise with their instruments, playing a lively tune without a care for wrong notes. But Big Brown Bear is fast asleep nearby. As the music crescendos, the question looms: will their joyful racket rouse him from his slumber? Join the bears in this delightful tale of music and mischief, where a moment of worry turns into a jubilant performance. Will the bears' melody be too much for Big Brown Bear's nap?

From the publisher

CLANG! CLANG! TOOTLEY-TOOO! The impossibly cute bears are back — and this time they have musical instruments at the ready. The little bears pick up their instruments and play a noisy song. They don’t care if the notes are wrong! But uh-oh, Big Brown Bear is fast asleep. Will their lively music wake him up? A small moment of trepidation segues into a jubilant performance in a story that will be sweet music to little ears.
