A Swing-Along Celebration of America s Music, Featuring When the Saints Go Marching In

An introduction to jazz for young children, in a lively picture book complete with sound buttons to hear the instruments, the rhythms, and the New Orleans sound of "When the Saints Go Marching In"-a jazz song everyone knows!

AN INTERACTIVE, SWING-ALONG PICTURE BOOK-WITH 12 SOUND CHIPS!

Are you ready to swing? Discover the wonders of jazz: How to get in the groove, what it means to play a solo, and the joy of singing along in a call-and-response.

In this interactive swing-along picture book with 12 sound chips, you'll hear the instruments of jazz-the rhythm section with its banjo, drums, and tuba, and the leads, like the clarinet, trumpet, and trombone. And you'll hear singers scat, improvising melodies with nonsense syllables like be-bop and doo-we-ah!

Along the way, you'll learn how this unique African American art form started in New Orleans, and how jazz changed over time as innovative musicians like King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Billie Holiday added their own ideas to it.

Press the buttons to hear the band, the rhythms, and the singer calling out: "OH WHEN THE SAINTS-oh when the saints..."

WARNING - KEEP BUTTON BATTERIES OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

Swallowing may lead to serious or fatal injury in as little as 2 hours due to chemical burns and potential perforation of the esophagus.

Never allow children to replace button batteries of any device.

If you suspect your child has swallowed or inserted a button battery immediately call the 24-Hour Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 (Australia) or 0800 764 766 (New Zealand) for fast, expert advice.

Regularly examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is correctly secured, e.g. that the screw or other mechanical fastener is tightened. Do not use if the compartment is not secure.

Dispose of used button batteries immediately and safely out of reach of children. A battery can still be dangerous even when it can no longer operate the device.

Tell others about the risk associated with button batteries and how to keep their children safe.
