(3) K-3 Illustrated by Brian Pinkney. Feline narrator Scat Cat Monroe guides readers through a four-part presentation of Ella Fitzgerald's development as one of the world's premier jazz singers: "Hoofin' in Harlem," "Jammin' at Yale," "Stompin' at the Savoy," and "Carnegie Hall Scat." The rhythmic prose suits the subject admirably, as do the vibrantly colored scratchboard illustrations, which feature lots of energy and varied perspectives. A discography is included. Bib.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
