He's one cool cat who scats, an eight-legged drummer keeping the beat. He moves and grooves and gets funky across the floor. One thing's for sure: no one's better at getting mellow on a saxophone and bringing rhythm and soul into every child's home. Mike Ornstein's catchy rhyming text is irresistibly musical and Lisa Kopelke's witty art features plenty of fun details and an urban, bohemian flair. 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 information.
