Summary: Letters and Sounds
Review: My daughter is nearly three years old. She is just now learning her alphabet and the sounds of the letters. As we read Charlie Parker Played Be Bop, she points to each word. I feel it is a great asset in her learning. In addition, I have noticed that she plays with sound more, sings more, and yes... I've even seen her dancing to her own songs. Maybe it is simply an age thing, but I would give some credit to this wonderful book. It demonstrates the power of sound beyond the meaning of words. We find ourselves learning that skill unaware that it is being taught.

Summary: whimsical and delicious
Review: No doubt about it. A classic that has my three year old now in love with be bop. Beautiful, whimsical paintings and delicious text! A great alternative to usual kid book drivel and TV engineered pap like authur, bernstien bears and disney stuff. Looking for children's literature. You found it.

Summary: First book my son read and read and read...
Review: Picked this book up at the Library after it was featured on PBS's Between The Lions. My son never put the book down, so we bought it. The book is fun, easy to read for children, and the pictures are great. Both my boys have it memorized and read it often.

Summary: A WAY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME YOU READ IT!!!
Review: This is a marvelous book for introducing children to the concept of jazz improvisation. My son is 3 and after reading along in the book several times has begun doing his own riffs on the text.We haven't read the book the same way twice, and all of us in our house put it in the "to read" pile night after night. This one is impossible to become tired of, and it's a stellar tribute to a great man.
