(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stacy Innerst. Slade traces Gershwin's early talents and rise to fame as a "daring" composer who wove together myriad musical forms with city sounds, building toward the triumphant composition and first performance of "a musical kaleidoscope of America's melting pot--Rhapsody in Blue." Swirly acrylic paintings and hand-lettering in a palette of almost all blues perfectly visualize the "razzmatazz dazzling" music. Author's note included. Timeline. Bib.
