Book Reviews of Nicky the Jazz Cat
Book Review: My Baby's Favorite Book
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I received Nicky the Jazz Cat as a gift from a close friend before our baby was born. Our baby is only five months old but this has been her favorite book for three months already. Her eyes light up every time she sees the cute cat on the cover. It's the right length for bedtime reading - not too short and not too long - and has wonderful pictures and interesting varied fonts to get your child interested in words and letters, as well as several musical instruments and important jazz musicians. We read Nicky the Jazz Cat, Goodnight Moon, and Hush Little Baby as our routine and our baby has been sleeping through the night very regularly.
I'd especially recommend this book for the young children (up to three years old) of anyone who is into jazz, or is a jazz musician.

?Nicky the Jazz Cat teaches young people about humor, improvisation, and individuality. His swinging adventures with his special jazz friends will inspire and delight children as they learn. Nicky is one cool cat!?
?Wynton Marsalis

This charming story is illustrated with photographs of Nicky with jazz greats Roy Eldridge, Lionel Hampton, Lena Horne, Quincy Jones, Abbey Lincoln, and Gerry Mulligan as they meet and make friends. The colorful graphics and rhyming text?call and response conversation between Nicky and his new musician friends?reflect the humor, rhythm, and spirit of jazz itself.

Children and adults alike will delight in his journey from curious jazz kitten to acclaimed jazz cat.
