A shared journey toward a new life

Leah Osei retells the Brothers Grimm tale of four farm animals—a donkey, dog, cat, and rooster—who set out for Bremen with a plan to become musicians. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they encounter a robbed home, giving the animals a chance to work together against the intruders. The story brings companionship, cooperation, and the pursuit of a shared ambition into a familiar folk-tale framework. Its accompanying illustrations are noted in the source description as part of the experience for young readers.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in retellings of traditional folk tales.
  • Young readers drawn to stories about animal companions and working together.
  • Readers interested in tales about pursuing a dream later in life.

Book overview

In this tale, a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster have all become too old to be useful on their farms. They decide to go on a journey to Bremen together where they will all become musicians. Along the way, they find a home that has been robbed! The animals use all of their power to sing and frighten the robbers away. After doing their good deeds, the animals make it to Bremen where they succeed in the dream of becoming famous musicians. While young readers will enjoy the amusing illustrations, they will also take away an important lesson: It's never too late to follow your dreams!
