Charlie Parker Played Be Bop

my kid loves it because i sing it to her

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.

Great book to teach kids that they can create their own melody out of any words.

One of our absolute favorite books. Don't listen to the reviews that say it's poorly written. They just don't get it. We read this book as a sound poem. It's fun, it gets stuck in your head in the best way. We quote it all the time, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. Read it to your kiddo. Gift to friends :)

there are not many children's books that celebrate jazz, so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw this book for sale. I play jazz music (parker, monk, coleman, coltrane, etc) for my daughter and I hope she will at least appreciate jazz if not love it when she is older. The book reads somewhat like a jazz rift with lots of sounds and perceptions. My daughter is only 5 months old but she smiles and swings her arms with delight as I read this to her. you definitely have to act out the sounds to get the full effect of the book. get this book for your little one!

My grandson knew this book by heart when he was 2 yrs old he’s now 18 thought he’d like it now. His 18th birthday gift for posterity

My 11 month old LOVES this book and has loved it since he learned how to laugh. The sounds and pictures are awesome. The laughs I get are priceless. Absolute gem of a book.

Awesome book and the library binding was very nice. It will make this, one of our family's favorite books, last a long time. Highly recommended!This was my son's favorite book when he was little. (Now he's a huge Charlie Parker fan.) His younger sisters weren't terribly interested in the book -- until I read it to them. Now they too can recite it from memory. It's great!

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

nice rhythm to the book. our kids love it.

I love the idea of soft cover books on music and the arts. Teaching the young is the best way to keep culture alive.

In bad condition, lots of tears

Für Eltern, die wissen was Bebop ist und Spaß daran haben, sich von der rhythmisch, kecken und rätselhaften Sprache dieses kreativen Buches zu abendlichen Blödel-Sessions mit ihren 1- bis 3-Jährigen inspirieren zu lassen.
