Its a cool package." --San Francisco Chronicle Editors Picks"The art of improvisation, exuberantly explicated, introduces the American musical form." --Smithsonians Notable Books for Children"The rhyming text includes scat refrains like "ZA-baza, BOO-zaba, ZEE-zah RO-ni" that just beg to be read aloud...The illustrations and book design give the whole enterprise the feel of jazz, even without musical accompaniment. The accompanying CD is delightful. Gollub narrates with a jazzy beat, and the danceable music perfectly accentuates the story.
