Book Reviews of Saxophone Sam and His Snazzy Jazz Band

Book Review: Fun and Snazzy book
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a fun colorful book enjoyed by my 2 1/2 year old who really loves music and dancing. The words have a very jazzy and hip flow though the rhyme is sometimes forced and references not clear or easy to decipher in the accompanying pictures. Text is not easy but not beyond a young child's grasp (and how many books refer to "Zanzibar"?) The pictures and story line are "snazzy". The book does well with diversity issues - multiracial characters without objectionable racial or gender stereotyping. I don't want to give away the "surprise" ending but the text and pictures do expose children to music from yesteryear, evoking a great period of radio and jazz. Probably more enjoyable for children who love music and dance - the book is very good (4 stars) from my perspective and really worth having because of its uniqueness but it isn't one of my son's favorites though we do re-read it from time to time.

Summary of Saxophone Sam and His Snazzy Jazz Band

Join us as we jive. Music makes us feel alive!

A dreary, rainy day turns into a jumpin', jivin? party when Saxophone Sam uses an irresistible beat to lead Drew and Sue on a magical mystery tour through their house to find the source of his toe-tapping music. As the children get closer and closer, the band and its crowd start to take center stage. There?s never a dull moment when Saxophone Sam?s in town.

Christine M. Schneider?s vibrant illustrations virtually burst off the page as she reinvents the standard two-dimensional picture book format with her imaginative design and playful perspectives.
