Charlie Parker Played Be Bop

I bought this as a Christmas present for my 3 1/2 yr old. It was extremely confusing for her and me! I was really hoping to have a good review especially after reading all the lovely ones but sadly not. Huge waste of money !

I had a great time reading this book to my elementary music classes and then playing some Be-Bop for them all.

If you are going to read Charlie Parker Played Be Bop you need to read it like you are swinging through a jazz club tooting your horn, stomping your feet, and bopping to the beat. It would be great if you could read this to students with a bit of a tune in your heart as you read over the words. This is one of our children's favorite books and one that their grandfather used to read to them when they were little.

nice rhythm to the book. our kids love it.

This was what I consider to be absolute rubbish. It was a cardboard picture as shown on the right , and that was it !! Not even a printed history of the great revolutionary man , who changed the thinking of nearly every serious musician in Jazz and Classical music. Disgusted Bill Doran
