Blurb from goodreads:

Four desert inhabitants – a burro, a coyote, a skunk and a raven – face an uncertain future, until they discover each other and bravely set out on a journey to start a new life as the Sagebrush Singers!

Based on a classic German folktale collected long ago by the Brothers Grimm, The Sagebrush Singers is the amusing and uplifting story of four animals who comfort and support each other by banding together. In his colorful retelling of the “Bremen Town Musicians,” author Herb Kernecker has transformed the original four creatures – a donkey, a dog, a cat and a rooster – into a burro, a coyote, a skunk and a raven living somewhere in the American Southwest.

Beautifully imagined by award-winning, bestselling children’s book illustrator James Watts, this picture book will enchant children (ages 5 to 10) and please their parents.
