Jazz Baby




 

Jazz Baby

by Carole Weatherford
Lee & Low Books

Millions of children have put their hands together and recited the rhyme that begins "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man." But what if the baker's man was a bebopper? A celebration of music and movement, this story in verse is inspired by the riffs, rhythms, and freedom of jazz. Colorful illustrations show children playing drums, piano, horn, and bass as they swing, sway, and jitterbug to the music.
