Wheeler, L. (2007). Jazz Baby. New York, NY: Harcourt Inc.
Jazz Baby reads like a song. Categorize as an easy reader the words jump off the page and will have the readers sing as they read each line. The rhyming and beat throughout the story make it an appropriate book for early readers. Those elements will help them predict the words on each page. There are also tons of sound words in this book. Teachers can use this book to help jump start a brainstorm session on sound or music words.
The premise of this story is there is a family that loves to sing, dance, and play music together. The text is written literally across the page. I guess to give the allusion that it is dancing or moving. So if there are students who like to hum, tap, clap or etc, they will enjoy this story.
