Charlie Parker Played Be Bop
is the kind of book that, if you've ever wanted to do some scatting with Louis or Ella, brings you close to experiencing those tongue-twisting tones. Chris Raschka provides a wonderful lyrical and visual exploration of Charlie Parker and the jazz experience. You'll enjoy rat-a-tat-tatting along with your child as the two of you share in the sounds of some very cool jazz. A great introduction to jazz in a very untraditional storytelling format. 32 pages.
