"Sam Francisco King of the Disco is a rollicking story about a bunch of cool cats that just want to party despite the best efforts of a grumpy neighbour who tries repeatedly to silence them. It's a celebration of dance and music that should appeal to children and adults alike with lots of humour and charm. It makes a great read aloud and the illustrations have amazing energy."--
