This Jazz Man

(3) K-3 Illustrated by R. G. Roth. Ehrhardt riffs on "This Old Man," composing a new verse for each of nine jazz musicians including Louis Armstrong and Charles Mingus ("This jazz man, he plays nine, / He plucks strings that sound divine"). Lively verbs and onomatopoeia contribute to the jazz rhythm, and the pastel mixed-media collage illustrations suit the subject. An afterword gives additional information about each player.
