The Tiger Beetle Band Marty Funcell

When something unexpected happens, it can be very scary. If you think you're in danger, you may even wonder if you will survive and go back to the way things were.



John the tiger beetle and his friend Paul were enjoying an afternoon out. But life changed for both when they heard music coming from a concert. Author Marty Funcell's The Tiger Beetle Band: Good Vibrations is the story of an accident turned into a career choice. When John lets his curiosity get the best of him, he falls into a guitar. At first, he's frightened and worried what could happen. It's loud inside that guitar! But after a while, he starts to like the music--a lot. So much so that he decides to form a band with Paul, Bingo, and George.



The Tiger Beetle Band: Good Vibrations is a fun story that touches on many things children enjoy. Or would like if they had the chance. After all, the guitar was being played by one of the Beach Boys, a groundbreaking rock band. And who wouldn't like to have their own bands? It also shows that even scary things can lead to fun.
