Overview

This work presents jazzy verse about a group of ""jazz baby"" toddlers. Millions of young children have put their hands together and recited ""Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake"". But what if the baker's man were a bebopper instead? Here is lively verse that is sure to get the youngest children up dancing and making music to the snap-happy beat. This work contains colourful spreads that show close-ups of children playing various jazz instruments - a horn, a piano and a bass - alternate with rollicking pictures of children dancing, tapping their feet, swinging and swaying, jitterbugging and more. And then, after the lively party, a song gently lulls the children to sleep. ""Jazz Baby"" is a celebration of music and movement for the youngest and a testament to the natural rhythm with which all children are born.
