Berlioz the bear is very worried about the strange buzzing noise coming from inside his double bass. But he hasn't got time to investigate, because he and his bear orchestra are due to play at a ball at eight o'clock. But when the bandwagon full of musicians gets stuck in a hole in the road, it looks like they might not get there in time after all.

The wonderfully detailed illustrations and lively story will appeal to all young children.
