Perfect for pre- and beginning readers, Hot on the Range is written by new author R.D. Jentsch and illustrated by David C. Bryant.

Look for a comical twist to the story as you sing along with the familiar melody.Having a favorite song that is sung repeatedly or a favorite story that is read again and again is almost a childhood “rite of passage.” Yet when a charming story is paired with an unforgettable melody, this milestone is taken to a new level by the wonder of a Song Story.
