The Daddy Longlegs Blues

About this book

Daddy Longlegs will have kids singing along with his bluesy song as they read this hip picture book! Hes one cool cat who scats an eight-legged drummer keeping the beat. He moves and grooves and gets funky across the floor. And one things for sure: no ones better at getting mellow on a saxophone and bringing rhythm and soul into every childs home. Mike Ornsteins catchy rhyming text is irresistibly musical and Lisa Kopelkes witty art features plenty of fun details and an urban bohemian flair; her sunglasses-wearing title character seems to come straight out of the Beat generation. A glossary of blues terms a list of instruments played by the characters and a page of facts about daddy longlegs and blues music provides extra entertaining info.
