Revue de presse
"Onomatopoeic words spill across the pages in imitation of the music's sounds. The book is fun for jazz aficionados, and neophytes alike. Children will enjoy the sounds and illustrations and sing along..." --School Library Journal "A welcome introduction to the world of jazz...Children will want to shout along with the scat-cat rhythms." -- Booklist "The candy-colored collages burst from the pages, making this addition just right as an uptempo introduction for youngest music lovers." --Publishers Weekly
Présentation de l'éditeur
In this toe-tapping jazz tribute, the traditional "This Old Man" gets a swinging makeover, and some of the era's best musicians take center stage. The tuneful text and vibrant illustrations bop, slide, and shimmy across the page as Satchmo plays one, Bojangles plays two . . . right on down the line to Charles Mingus, who plays nine, plucking strings that sound "divine."
Easy on the ear and the eye, this playful introduction to nine jazz giants will teach children to count--and will give them every reason to get up and dance!
Includes a brief biography of each musician.
