The Daddy Longlegs Blues

32 pp. | Sterling | August, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-4359-7 $14.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Kopelke. In this rhyming paean to a multi-instrumentalist daddy longlegs, paintings featuring cartoony insects depict the protagonist practicing his chops and biding his time before a big concert. The text, while mildly informative, strains for a bluesy voice. Jazzy acrylic and colored-pencil illustrations help liven things up. Glos.
