Cool Daddy Rat by Kristyn Crow ; illustrated by Mike Lester
Today's poetry post is influenced by music- specifically jazz. Mrs. Hudson's grade 7's are discovering that today's music has it's roots and foundations buried in jazz and the hipster's slang dictionary. How fun!
Summary:
Ace has the coolest daddy ever. Every night he goes out to play jazz and scat all around the city. but one night Cool Daddy Rat hears something strange: "peeky, squeaky, who dat?"
It's Ace, hiding in the bass case! Lucky Ace gets to tag along and the pair zig and zag from gig to gig all over the city, filling the streets with sweet beats. But stowing away isn't the only surprise Ace has up his sleeve.
Get ready to snap, tap, and scat along with this cool , jazzy read-aloud.
