In This Jazz Man, Karen Ehrhardt spins a jazz twist on the classic "This Old Man." Children learn to count with rhythm to legendary jazz musicians such as "Dizzy" Gillespie, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, "Duke" Ellington and Louis Armstrong; "Satchmo." Children will clap their hands and tap their feet as they "give the band a hand" counting from one to ten. This is an interactive, fun book that also pays tribute to several great jazz musicians.
