Strike up the band! It's time for the parade. And look who's going. Spot and his grandparents are ready, of course, and so are Tom, Steve and Helen. To get there, they'll all have to ride in grandpa's big red fire truck. But they better hurry, or they'll miss the jugglers, clowns and fun! Children will want to come along as Spot and his friends enjoy a day filled with new sights and sounds in this lively board book for the very young that captures all the excitement of a first parade.
