Illustrated by
John O'Brien.
While playing his sax and belting out jazzy lyrics, Cool Bopper jets his choppers (a.k.a. dentures) into a lady's beehive hairdo. He then stops performing until he's reunited with his teeth. The rhythmic text is entertaining to read aloud, but the humor is geared more toward adults than kids. Watercolor and ink illustrations show elongated figures arching and stretching to the beat.
