The whistle's a-blowin',
the engine's a-pumpin' --
conductors are dancin'
and passengers jumpin'!
Quick! Climb aboard
the Bebop Express.
This rockin', rhythmic railroad adventure celebrates the uniqueness of America and the beboppin', doo-woppin' sound of jazz, from jammin' New York City all the way to New Orleans. With bold, powerful art by the "New York Times" best-selling team of Steve Johnson and Lou Fancher, H. L. Panahi's text comes alive with a pulse and beat all its own.
Editorial : From School Library Journal Grade 3-5-With a rhythmic "chug-a chug-a Choo! Choo!" this train adventure is a cumulative expression of bebop. A New York saxophonist, a "slam-jammin'" drummer from Philadelphia, a bassist from Chicago, and a scat singer from St. Louis all head for New Orleans aboard the Bebop Express, "the jazziest train from the east to the west." Variations in font accentuate the onomatopoeia of the text. "Blee bah, blee bah./Doot doot bah!/Blee blee, doot doot./Blee! Doot! Wah!" Collages of vintage photos place jewel-toned figures on the train and in city streets. More alert readers will discover musical references in the text incorporated into the illustrations, the dining car's wallpaper design of fragmented instruments, and music notation on clothing, buildings, and puffs of smoke. Johnson and Fancher perfectly match the text's catchy repetition with a blur of images reflecting the speed of the instrumentalist.-Mary Elam, Forman Elementary School, Plano, TX
Some amusing tidbits here and there, including Einstein's diet.
15. This is scary.
Gershwin has no answers. MANY LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION OF THE RAINBOW FROM NO CAL TO WORLDWIDE.. We all learn slightly differently.
For engineering and science based problems, some may wish Stewart included dimensional analysis in his problem solving steps. Not a long book, but packed with great instruction. I recall the fountain at People's Drug Store on Georgia Ave., the smell of fresh brewed coffee still reminds me of back then; the gazing ball Mr. Applications of Differentiation
5. I spent many a Thursday night with a gang of Rambler fans at Glenn and Ann's in Madison. At that time the Italians and the Irish were close, and the Puerto Ricans were, for a time, the outsiders. My kids love to recite it, and we're always finding something in the collage-inspired artwork that we'd never seen before. It simply points to certain ills by way of object lesson
