An award-winning author and a Caldecott Medalist improvise a playful
tribute to the creators of bebop--Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
When sax player Charlie "Bird" Parker and trumpeter John "Dizzy"
Gillespie make music together, they toss notes back and forth like a
game of tag and chase each other with sounds. As Dizzy's cheeks puff out
like a frog with glasses, the two friends beep and bop and push each
other to create a new kind of music--a thrilling fast jazz full of
surprises. Blending a playful, rhythmic narration with expressive
illustrations as fluid and dynamic as their subjects, this tribute to
the masters of bebop by acclaimed biographer Gary Golio and beloved
artist Ed Young will have readers hankering to listen for themselves.
