5.0 out of 5 stars It's got rhythm, it's got style, it's a fabulous book!, 6 Aug 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Duke Ellington: The Piano Prince and His Orchestra (Caldecott Honor Book) (Hardcover)
For my 5 and 1/2 year old musician son, it was a glorious experience. The illustrations are warm and convey a sense of the music and the mood. The dancers leap off of the page.

The words are very rhythmic and make you want to sing out as you are reading them.

My one complaint is that when I turned to the last page, I wanted to hear "Take the A Train" play.

Bravo to the Pinkneys!

3.0 out of 5 stars I was disappointed., 4 May 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Duke Ellington: The Piano Prince and His Orchestra (Caldecott Honor Book) (Hardcover)
I used this book to introduce my elementary school age children to Duke Ellington's music. They did learn some things about jazz and Ellington. Unfortunately, they had difficulty with the book's language. It uses phrases like "cats," and "Daddy-O." With some explanation of these phrases, my kids were able to gain useful information from the book. If they had read this book by themselves (I read it aloud to them), they would not have been able to understand much of what it was saying.
