Synopsis

When a young girl dances with her mother to a Louis Armstrong record, she wonders about the nonsense words she hears him singing. "Scat?" she asks. "What's that?" The answer comes to her in her dreams, when the great Satchmo himself arrives to teach her how to sing about any old thing, even bubble gum! Coupled with colorful and explosive illustrations that perfectly capture the exuberance of jazz, this beautiful story is sure to inspire readers to sing out loud.
