(4) K-3 In a rhythmic text, a boy imagines his jazz-loving grandfather is jamming with the greats in heaven. Music lovers will appreciate the appended biographical notes about the thirteen featured luminaries, such as Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday, but in general, this picture book's audience will be limited to those already familiar with "Miles," "Dizzy," "Lady Day," and the others. The textured three-dimensional illustrations are accomplished.
