The swing to this picture book is SO much fun! I would definitely read this at a Baby Lapsit program or a story time!

Jazz Baby is a fun, lyrical book that reads to the rhythm of a jazz song that gets everybody moving. With Lisa Wheeler's fun poetry and R. Gregory Christie's fluid illustrations, this makes for a fantastic book to introduce your little one to musical genres that are no longer considered popular or mainstream. It's fun, swingin', and overall a good time. Great for kids PreK-1.

Not so much a story as a celebration of the rhythm, groove, and improvisational style of jazz music. Something that young children can certainly relate to even though we tend to not think of jazz as a very accessible genre of music for children.
As I was reading this book, I could imagine it being read with a drummer quietly tapping on some high hat cymbals and an upright bass player accompanying the words a walking bass line.

This will be a fabulous read aloud with all of the jazz sounds and the rhythm. I am excited to get it and share it with my students.

Love the rhyme scheme in this book. Easy and fun to read out loud. Portrays a multi-generational black family (grandparents, parents, sister, brother and baby.)

Love it! Rat tat tat and rum tum tum. Annie's not into it...yet. She's really not that into sitting still for a book these days. I am discouraged, but I hope it's a phase.
