Are you ready to move and groove?

Come on now. . . . The saxophone plays the melody.

Not a jazz fan? You will be once you read this unique board book! Awesome animals illustrated in Captain Kris's fabulous graffiti-style art introduce kids to various jazz instruments and their sounds. A giraffe plays the melody on the saxophone, while an elephant takes the lead on the trumpet, a tiger growls along on the trombone, a crocodile pounds chords on the piano, a rabbit strums the guitar, a fox keeps the beat on the drums, a dog grooves on the bass, and a bear dances and claps his hands! The animals are decked out in cool jazz gear, making this an amusing visual treat!

Milo Sloan lives in New York City and loves to escape the hustle and bustle by listening to jazz. Although he doesn’t play any jazz instruments, he wishes he could play the piano as expertly as Thelonious Monk.
