As they perform “Salt Peanuts,” their friendly collaboration and competition are compared with a game of tag. The two musicians trade sounds and push one another toward a fast, surprising style of jazz known as bebop. Colorful, textured illustrations unfold across accordion-fold pages, creating long visual scenes to accompany their musical exchange.Five to NineOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
Cover of The Most Amazing Creature in the SeaThe Most Amazing Creature in the SeaBrenda Z.This book asks readers to compare sea creatures through unusual traits. It considers an animal with powerful venom, another known for deep diving, one with blue blood, and one with rotating eyes. Rather than naming a single winner at the outset, it frames the question of which ocean creature is the greatest through these different abilities and features. The focus is on the varied qualities found among animals in the sea.Five to NineOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
